Andrew Tridgell talks about his experience with the development of UAV's both fixed wing and rotary.
Andrew is a computer programmer, who for his PhD thesis, co-developed rsync including the rsync algorithm, a highly efficient file transfer and synchronisation tool. He also was the original author of rzip, which uses a similar algorithm to rsync. He developed spamsum, based on locality-sensitive hashing algorithms as well as being the major developer of Samba. He is the author of KnightCap, a reinforcement/learning based chess engine. Recently Andrew has been contributing to the open source project "ArduPilot Mega", a UAV controller board. For more on Andrew, see his wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tridgell
In this video, given at Linux.con.au 2016 in Geelong, he shares his experience in collaborating with Canberra UAV (a hobby based UAV group) where he acts as their lead programmer, in developing new ideas and expertise with unmanned aerial aircraft. Flying a range of aircraft including petrol derivatives, high density electric, experimental VTOL/fixed wing combinations, rockets and helicopters, Andrew talks about their limiting features and their strengths in a fun and informative talk.
