In this video series, I embark on an exciting journey to resurrect my old AI-powered drone, a project I started back in 2014 during my undergrad years. After sitting idle for nearly a decade, it's time to bring this semi-autonomous drone back to life, upgrade its components, and integrate advanced AI functionalities.
In this first episode, we inspect the old hardware, fix the frame, and replace outdated electronics with modern alternatives like the Pixhawk autopilot and NVIDIA Jetson embedded computer. I'll guide you through the process of rebuilding the drone, from unboxing the old frame to calibrating sensors and wiring up the new components.
We'll also take a trip down memory lane, revisiting the original system architecture for human gesture recognition and discussing plans to upgrade it with new technologies. This project is a blend of nostalgia and innovation, as I aim to transform this piece of technology into a sophisticated, AI-powered drone.
Stay tuned as I guide you step-by-step through this exciting revival. Upcoming episodes will cover indoor positioning systems, state machine implementation, and advanced AI for gesture recognition. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the like button to follow along on this journey!
