FORAY - Hovering infront of ball after using new Nicla Vision camera

Zhaoliang Zheng

After we implement the new NICLA VISION camera, the performance of this hardware is pretty robust. Even with our untuned worst PID controller, it can still hover in front of the green ball for 3:30 min.

FORAY - KF algorithm on green ball tracking

Zhaoliang Zheng

The top one is the original detection data and the bottom one is after we implement the KF algorithm. The blue circle is the predicted location and the red one is the original location. This is the simple version of green ball color threshold detection: I add the region filter and it preform...

FORAY - Green Ball Detection and Autonomous Control flying test

Zhaoliang Zheng

The first flying test is to test the move_to_ball function: The logic of move_to_goal function now is correct and PID is kind of ok so we move forward to the next part. Before, we notice that it was easy to lose the track of the green ball and even after we fine-tune the PID controller. So...

Capturing Mechanism and Testing New Blimp

Warnakulasuriya Shelard R. Fernando

Testing the new blimp using manual control. Since the blimp is not fully filled with helium the motors bend when they are activated, making it less maneuverable. Motor placement also inhibits blimp's maneuverability. Testing the capturing mechanism using a controller. Using the controll...

FORAY - Motor Handle Designs for the blimp

Che Jin Goh (CJ)

There are two variations to the designs of the motor handles, one for the vertical motor and the other for horizontal motors. They are designed with the intention of keeping the weight low and sturdy as this is used with a brushless motor. Horizontal Motors: The design has a hole going strai...

FORAY - Hovering flying test 1

Zhaoliang Zheng

The blimp can hover when it's close to the goal if we set PID value to be small: The blimp will easily lose track of the goal when it approaches from a further distance because our PID value is small: A screen recording shows how it lost track of the goal: How to improve next: ...
