Female members or for religions for peace from the middle east or demanding a larger were. Going to. Get this email pacemakers stores january 5th on the double. Shift special this time developing and testing autonomous camera drones. The e. U. Financed multi drone project is ready for takeoff near the spanish city of seville will these 3 drones accomplish their mission completely are needed. Will this 3 year project have a successful outcome. The based on. Each of the drones developed for this project has a precisely defined flight path. To camera movements to. Program didnt advance. The drones are designed to work fully autonomous lee. Armies advantage is that you can fly with the drones. And the drones do exactly what you want for example we have a big sporting event and in case we have more than one drone we have more to draw on it is really difficult to read the choreography precisely so it is necessary. So we can rebuild the scenario. Look back a few weeks when project partners from Industry Research in the media met at a Country Estate in northern germany. Scientists and specialists from 8 European Countries collaborated on the project now for the 1st time the system is to be tested in simulated Media Productions the. Team members tinker and reprogram up to the last 2nd. Outside a drone is prepared for a practice flight even if its supposed to fly autonomously a safety pilot is on hand to take over the controls if it becomes necessary. This is an aerial has to be rehearsed the pilots practiced flying the drones with no Technical Support its not the same as working with camera drones generally used in Media Productions. Its not keeping. To try to travel to hold her to keep the outskirts and also work against him thanks from like wind and. You have to compensate the position to keep and remain the position. Of the target. So lets wait again. Inside more each month and waldo readies the 1st test scenario with cyclists as the focus this is tim central component is the dashboard a planning module for camera operators and directors using an input screen they control the flight paths and camera movements of individual drones so there i thought and the media stuff i have to. Think about all the. The shows and troubles that come in place no one where you have to perform a product from where the drones but you can concentrate on the editorial staff. All the Technical Details are taken care of by Mission Control this system checks all components for plausibility and calculates the ideal flight path for the drones it also make sure none of the drones gets another drone in its picture. One of the programs features after the planning and control is the ability to simulate the mission on the monitor. Its a short step from simulation to reality to test the multi drones practicality from Media Production to drones track a group of cyclists with video cameras all completely autonomous like. The cameras follow the bike riders with the aid of g. P. S. Tracking. The command headquarters monitors the entire mission each safety pilot keeps their assigned drone in sight at all times but theres no need to intervene. Surprise. Surprise. Concerns about the stability of the flight. But sadly the image results are disappointing the footage shot by the 2 drones was too blurry to be of any use the cameras autofocus functions didnt work as well as they had in lab tests. The 1st time but we had to do. So now we are facing. Before. Place this is what happened when we are doing the real thing. The main challenges that we have we will try to solve the. Case. 2 days later at a nearby lake and old boat house serves as command central final preparations are made for the 2nd attempt will be out of focus work this time. The better part of a day was spent working on the autofocus issue for this test rowers have taken over for the bikers. This time the drone is controlled manually and the resulting footage is of an entirely different quality. To the other drone flies autonomous leave. It to deliver so much better images than it did 2 days before all the effort paid off. A huge really. Good work so maybe its everything from now on is icing on the top which should we slow down and do less. Its great was a success but i didnt think. The next day the multi drone team welcomes a group of park or runners protest scenario number 3. The drones are in the air ready to record but then the rotors on one drone suddenly stop working. The team and heres district safety precautions that may well have saved people from getting hurt. Unfortunately that cant be said of one of the 20000. 00 plus drones. It really hurt because. Well when you spend so much time working all these. Yes to. Work on it just to have it in time so things could work and it suddenly crushes. On expect a thing for control it feels really bad and of course the parents about you know things happens. Immediately start to miss to getting the cars the big crash the most urgent question here is might any of the other drones experience the same problem if so then all flights will have to be suspended indefinitely. So i think the resources. That that we have in the draw to come 1st are remote controlled. Just for food safety if the controller far as we know and we think we need to present these but. We dont know exactly how. You can succeed with us. Right now. So far a range of drone models have been used. The crash drone was the only one equipped with this emergency stop function. The Team Concludes the flying and start getting a substitute ready for takeoff. Safety is the top priority so the system includes its own l. T. E. Wireless network and other ironclad rule is that the drones must never fly over large crowds this is tims artificial Intelligences Program to spot crowds on its own marked in this image in red and white. Machine learning has trained the algorithm to recognize groups of people through its camera even when not recording. And these algorithms. Use the information from all d of the flying drones. And. Some of the crowd. That means that they very near for fear of. See the crowd. Or do. Not want to. Leak bones a final preparations are under way for the annual. Regatta itll be the 1st test of the multi drone system at a sporting event after 2 weeks of trials the team is ready for the real deal. The race thoughts. And theyre off. To the drone team have taken a position on the 15 kilometer route to be ready for their 1st real deployment. Everybody in position. The drones give the rowers an extra wide berth so they wont pose a hazard to them or the spectators everything is going according to plan 2 drones are aloft one of them functioning completely autonomous lee even though its windy and humid then it starts raining and the mission has to be aborted. Ive trained that no just let me say thank you very much. If i do still got some really good out sia which is good out see how its feel and i get out im. Returning to seville the drones are coming to the end of their mission. Because. Even the return flight and the safe landing are handled autonomously mission accomplished. It was a very very challenging project and we had a number of serious setbacks actually from the very beginning i think without a really hard work especially over the last 34 months i mean its. A very very good spirit and in the concerts you know we wouldnt have achieved what we did achieve this is a nice combination low for a body sark deficient.
