Project’s Goal Visual-based autonomous navigation: Develop a system that will enable the AR Drone to fly autonomously. How do we do it ? Processing real-time video that is received from the AR Dronecameras to recognize a predefined route and predefined checkpoints.

Conclusions • It is much harder than we expected in the beginning especially because of the non deterministic nature of robotics and working in a 3D environment. • It is achievable but still needs research to make it perfect. • It is Fun.
