ideaforge -Micro Air Vehichles
A great piece of work from my IIT batchmate – Ankit Mehta and his team at Ideaforge.
With funds from TePP, Ideaforge has also built an autonomous Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that can be used for various purposes including surveillance. In a noteworthy demonstration of the MAV, a top official of the Department of Science and Technology was escorted from his office to outdoors by the one square foot ‘flyer’ (MAV) moving just a meter ahead of him and a meter above the ground.
Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs): fully autonomous MAVs that require almost no time to learn and operate.
Zeppelin IV – Quadrotor Platform
This hovering platform is a versatile flying machine. It requires minimal take-off and recovery area therby making it suitable for urban usage. Once put on GPS-hold mode, it acts like a virtual pole in the sky streaming high quality live video to the ground station with all camera controls in user’s hand.
Fireball – Fixed Wing Platform
This micro fixed wing flying platform can be operated from small open spaces or roof-top of buildings and can gather critical visual information in real time. Its quick deployment time and high airspeed make sure the user reaches the area of interest in short time.
