چکیده
The Intelligent Flying Object for Reconnaissance (IFOR) is an autonomous aerial vehicle that has been developed by students of BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus. The vehicle is capable of localizing itself using the SLAM algorithm, stabilize its attitude (pitch, roll and yaw) and altitude using PID controllers, plan paths around obstacles and navigate an unknown indoor environment with wall following guidance. In addition, it has been designed to be capable of pattern recognition which would enable it to recognize images and signs. These features enable the
