Surveyor Surveyor
Ever thought about building a modular survey drone that can auto‑adjust its sensors for different terrains?
Vendan Vendan
Yeah, I've been sketching out a modular survey drone that swaps sensor bays on the fly—just slide the camera, lidar, or thermal package into a quick‑release bracket and the micro‑controller tweaks the settings for hills, forests, or urban ruins. Keeps the core frame lightweight, so it can hop from terrain to terrain without a full rebuild. Want to see a prototype?

Sounds solid, but double‑check the load‑distribution on that frame—if the sensor bays shift the center of gravity too much, you’ll end up with more wobble than you can compensate for on uneven ground. If it holds up, I’m curious to see how the auto‑tune logic plays out in the field.

Got it—I'll run a quick load analysis on the frame with the bay‑shifts and add some counter‑weights in the hull if needed. The auto‑tune logic will run a PID loop that reads the gyroscope and accelerometer, then tweaks the servo angles to keep the center of gravity straight. Once I get the flight data, we’ll see if the drone stays level over a rockslide or a swamp. Ready to hit the field test when you are.
