LiDAR Sensor-based Obstacle Avoidance for Drone Outdoor Navigation

Research Project, 2018

The project focuses on implementing drone obstacle avoidance using lidar sensor data. During autonomous navigation, the drone identifies obstacles along its path, promptly adjusting its course to navigate around them and ensure an unobstructed trajectory towards mission completion.
