Hi folks. I am thinking to buy a drone and have some fun flying it, and being an engineer, I of course thought about writing code for it. That would be pretty cool to write code for a specific task a drone can do.
It could be things like:
- Algorithm for locating a certain object in the area. Different search patterns, object recognition.
- Drone swarm. Some tasks where drones benefit with acting as a team.
I think Elixir could fit quite well in the task. The question is - are there already some commercial drones that let you code in Elixir? Or maybe it’s possible to build a drone from scratch? Does anyone have experience with writing software for drones?
