This article describes different methods for detecting certain objects external to the vehicle. In case something is blocking our current path for the quadcopter, we’ll need to be able to detect it and move around it. For getting the correct parts and the programming of the quadcopter, we’ll have to first decide on which method the quadcopter will be using. Next to describing methods of detecting, it also describes some parts automobile safety and how to obtain it.

here’s a quick overview of possible methods for our quadcopter.

  • GPS
