The Hardware Team with advising professor Dr. YangQuan Chen
The objective of the hardware team is to take care of the mechanical aspects of the UAS project. This includes selecting and operating a UAV, camera, and remote control of the camera and UAV. Current research involves determining how the UAV will be capturing images while in the air (including ways to automate the process) types of hardware that the team will need to reach the end goal outlined in the project proposal.
Currently, the hardware team has chosen two pieces of equipment for purchase: a small, low cost RC quad-copter for testing and learning to fly, and a Canon Point and Shoot sx230hs digital camera, which will serve as our imaging device.
