Rescuing Joe

Andrew Tridgell talks about Team Canberra UAVs attempt to rescue Outback Joe this year at this years Linux.conf.au After a years gap things will start to hot up now for the OBC. The Ballarat Linux conference also sported a high altitude balloon launch.

CanberraUAV will be using the Ardupilot autopilot from DIYdrones and have already added some handy features for anyone considering using this autopilot for the OBC. Geo Fencing was added just before Christmas.

In September 2012 the CanberraUAV team will try to rescue ‘Outback Joe’ as part of the UAV outback challenge. This talk is all about the technology and techniques that we have developed for building an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can search for and find a lost bushwalker in outback Australia.

CIO, sUAS News | "My interest in UAS began in 2006 in the Masai Mara, Kenya where I was working as a bush pilot and met Gary Mortimer. I have always loved computers, maps, aerial photos and any kind of flying thing so the UAS addiction quickly took hold. Since then my interest in these technologies has grown from just an interest to building and flying small UAS as well as getting involved with sUAS News."
