Overview
Develop an autonomous drone that accurately navigates waypoints in a Gazebo simulation with severe, gusty wind condition.
Objective
- Using PX4 Offboard Mode, the drone must detect flight path deviations caused by wind and execute adaptive control strategies to complete its mission.
Key Challenges
- Simulate: Configure a Gazebo world with variable wind and strong gusts.
- Navigate: Implement offboard control for a multi-waypoint trajectory.
- Detect: Monitor real-time position errors to identify wind disturbances.
- Adapt: Program logic to re-attempt waypoints, adjust altitude, or initiate a Return to Launch (RTL) failsafe.
Expected Outcomes
- A robust simulation demonstrating the drone's ability to intelligently respond to wind and successfully complete its navigation task.
