I just noticed something on the Neural Robotics web site: http://www.neural-robotics.com/product_uav_low_end.htm > Basic avionics consist of a PC/104 computer, FMA Direct IR > sensor/stabilizer, GPS receiver (nominal or WAAS), magnetic heading > sensor, downward-pointing range finder, and heading-hold gyro. The > standard transmitter is used as the "ground station". > > The company's neural network based flight control algorithms are what > provide the "punch" to the system. I thought they were doing the full stabilization with their neural nets, but from the onboard systems it would seem that they are using a heading hold gyro and the FMA Co-pilot to do the three axis stabilization. There do not appear to be any inertial systems onboard. Even with the Co-pilot and heading hold gyro, it is still a non-trivial task to take off, navigate and land. But for $11k I would expect a telemetry link, ground station and some amount of inertial data. Trammell -- -----|----- hu...@os... W 240-283-1700 *>=====[]L\ hu...@ro...
