Core aerospace engineering and protocols for Drop-Zone Vision Verification.
A backyard that was clear yesterday may today contain a barbecue grill, an open umbrella, or a sprinting family dog. Autonomous delivery drones must evaluate the ground environment in real time before releasing cargo.
AAVDelivery processes downward-facing stereo depth cameras at 30 frames per second using embedded edge neural networks. If a human or animal moves into the drop radius, the winch descent instantly pauses, and if the obstruction remains, the mission is safely aborted and the drone returns to base.
