Do you know your Lidars to your Gimbals? Knowing your technology – and how to communicate it – is essential in robotics and renewables. Check out our essential check list for a handy refresher ahead of Blades Global on April 27th and 28th and stay ahead of the curve.
Definition | Description |
Algorithm | Process/rules to be followed in calculations or other problem solving, especially by a computer. |
Neural Networks | Try to recognise relationships in data that mimics the way a brain operates. |
Machine Learning | A method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. |
API (Application Programming Interface) | A set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating software. |
UAV Flight System | A system that allows safe operation/efficiency of the UAV within limits. These vary with different UAV’s. |
Payload Sensors | Type of sensor a UAV can carry. Cameras etc. |
Lidar (Light detection & Ranging) | A pulsed laser is used to measure ranges/distance. |
Ground Station | A control centre that provides facilities for human control/monitoring of a UAV. |
Gimbal | Stabilises drone payloads using Internal Measuring functions (IMU) that responds to motion. |
LIPO | Lithium-Ion-polymer, a rechargeable battery with a polymer electrolyte. |
UAV Self-Monitoring | Constant monitoring of safety systems and parameters. |
Trajectory Planning | Moving from point A to point B while avoiding collisions over time. |
