You will be competing against myself and other Drone Dojo members. Good luck!!!
Project Bounties
Drone Swarming
Using two or more drones, with at least one being a PiHawk, demonstrate a coordinated mission with the drones operating in unison. Potential missions could be light shows, coordinated heavy object lifting, or coordinated structure building. Check with us to confirm your idea is bounty eligible.
Claimed By: Open
Bounty: $200
AI or Object Recognition
Demonstrate an AI or Object Recognition autonomous mission to claim this bounty. Example mission could be hand movement based control of the drone via camera sensing. Unleash your creativity- check with us to confirm it is bounty eligible.
Claimed By: Open Bounty: $100
4G LTE Drone
Conventional drone internet connectivity is limited to local WiFi range. To claim this bounty, install a 4G LTE module to the PiHawk to be able to monitor and control the drone from any distance.
Claimed By: Open
Bounty: $100
360° Obstacle Avoidance
Demonstrate obstacle avoidance capabilities from all directions, not just one dimension. You’ll likely need a spinning Lidar sensor, or a series of ~eight 1D rangefinders pointed in all different directions.
Claimed By: Open Bounty: $100
Autonomous Indoor Flight
GPS isn’t available indoors. Demonstrate an indoor localization system that can be used to replace GPS for indoor autonomous flight. You’ll need more than just Optical Flow so you can correct errors. Potentially look into MarvelMind.
Claimed By: Open
Bounty: $100
ROS Based Control
The Drone Dojo focusing on python dronekit scripting for autonomous missions. With this bounty, demonstrate how you can control the PiHawk drone with ROS (MAVROS) scripting as an alternative.
Claimed By: Open Bounty: $50
Mobile Hotspot Field Internet
Drone internet connection in the field can be difficult, and it’s even more difficult to find Ad-Hoc capable WiFi dongles. Demonstrate how you can use a Mobile Hotspot to connect your Laptop and Drone instead. This bounty doesn’t require PiHawk

Moving Platform Landing
Demonstrate an autonomous landing of the PiHawk drone onto a moving platform. You will most likely have to incorporate python dronekit scripting, along with precision landing capability.
Claimed By: Open
Bounty: $50
Drone Fishing
Demonstrate how drones can be used for fishing. An example application could be attaching a bobber line with bate to the PiHawk and dropping it off farther than a normal casting distance.
