GapFlyt: Active Vision Based Minimalist Structure-less Gap Detection For Quadrotor Flight: Wiki

GapFlyt by Perception & Robotics Group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland- College Park.

Check out the Wiki for the Hardware and Software setup.

Check out our Youtube video which depicts the proposed framework of a bio-inspired perceptual design for quadrotors.

GapFlyt: Active Vision Based Minimalist Structure-less Gap Detection For Quadrotor Flight

We use this bio-inspired philosophy to design a minimalist sensori-motor framework for a quadrotor to fly though unknown gaps without a 3D reconstruction of the scene using only a monocular camera and onboard sensing. We successfully evaluate and demonstrate the proposed approach in many real-world experiments with different settings and window shapes, achieving a success rate of 85% at 2.5m/s, even with a minimum tolerance of just 5cm.
