PRICES MAY VARY. Drone Programming: Building and Coding Autonomous UAVs is the ultimate beginner’s guide to the exciting world of drone flight programming and automation. With drones becoming a ubiquitous part of modern life, from recreational flying to industrial applications like agriculture, surveillance, and delivery, understanding how to build and code autonomous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is an invaluable skill. This book provides an accessible and practical approach for anyone looking to get started in drone programming, offering a step-by-step process for building, coding, and deploying autonomous drones. It starts with the fundamentals, gradually guiding you through essential topics such as flight controllers, sensors, and coding techniques using Python and other popular programming languages. What you will learn in Drone Programming : Introduction to Drone Basics : Learn the essential components of UAVs, including flight controllers, motors, sensors, and communication systems. - Building Your First Drone : Discover how to assemble a drone from scratch, including selecting the right components, assembling the hardware, and calibrating the system for optimal performance. - Programming Drone Flight : Master the art of programming flight patterns using open-source platforms such as ArduPilot and PX4. Learn to control basic maneuvers like takeoff, landing, and hovering. - Autonomous Flight and Navigation : Explore the principles of autonomous flight, including path planning, obstacle avoidance, GPS navigation, and sensor integration, to enable your drone to fly and navigate on its own. - Sensors and Feedback Systems : Understand how to use various sensors (like GPS, accelerometers, and cameras) to gather data and give your drone real-time feedback for improved performance and decision-making. - Drone Communication Systems : Learn how to establish reliable communication between your drone and ground control systems, ensuring safe and accurate data transmission during flights. - Advanced Drone Programming : Delve into more advanced techniques such as integrating machine learning algorithms for smarter drones, enabling them to adapt to their environment and perform complex tasks autonomously. With detailed, easy-to-follow instructions and hands-on projects, Drone Programming ensures you not only learn the theory but also gain practical experience in building and coding your own autonomous UAV. By the end of the book, you will have the skills to program a fully functional drone capable of autonomous flight and advanced maneuvers.
