For Computer Science Students (3rd year bachelors, masters level and above)

As UAVs become commonplace, there’s an increasing number of incidents involving UAVs misbehaving or pilot errors, with varying consequence from damaged aircraft to hurting people. In order to learn from each incidents, all UAVs are equipped to log as much information as possible about its sensor readings and the decisions it made.

In this project, you will build an analysis tool for investigating UAV incidents, using a collection of flight logs, ground control system logs, cloud telemetry logs, and camera footage. Your tool should pick up early warning signals (e.g. bad sensor readings) and produce a real time success confidence measure that’s based on historical data. The tool shall be setup to learn continuously from new incidents and improve its estimate.
