Explore the design and implementation of a Neural Network on a WashUAV Helicopter for stable flight, obstacle avoidance, data collection, and refinement. The project integrates an Arduino Pro Mini, IMU, and Compass Module for ambitious flight goals. Testing and refining the Neural Network architecture involves gathering data from accelerometers, gyros, and a compass for controlling throttle, aileron, elevator, and rudder. Overcoming obstacles like ground effect and aerodynamics is crucial while learning to control the helicopter for indoor hovering. Previous work from Stanford and Australia on autonomous hovering and full-scale helicopter NN control inform the project's progress and ambitions.
