Matlab MiniDrone IIT Kanpur

Line Following drone

Members: Dhananjay Goel*, Arnav Kharbanda*, Shreyansh Dubey*, Manan Dangwal*

We developed a line-following drone for the MATLAB Minidrone Competition at IIT Kanpur. Using advanced image processing and control techniques, the drone accurately followed the track, earning us the 2nd runner-up position.

Challenges Faced

  • Implementing dilation and erosion techniques for image processing.
  • Fine-tuning the PID loop for stable flight and precise path tracking.
  • Balancing computational load for real-time performance.
