First round of discounts flying your way at InterDrone

Hi, Commercial drones are coming, full of amazing applications across almost every field. Learn all about this exploding market at InterDrone, the International Drone Conference & Exposition. InterDrone features two technical conferences: Drone TechCon, for engineers, developers and builders of drones; and DroneFlyer, for the buyers and flyers of commercial drones. There’s a super Early Bird price if you register for this conference this week.  You’ll have tons of great classes, panels and keynotes to choose from. Here’s a sample!  Drone TechCon • What does your drone think? Building a Measurable Virtual Reality System • Understanding the ArduPilot Hardware Abstraction Layer (AP_HAL) • Deep dive into the mavlink protocol and code generator • Prototype Tiltrotor Development using APM 2.5 • Coding with GoBot: A robot-control applications interface using the Go programming language • Managing Complex Spatial Operations in Dynamic Environments using Spatial Grasp Language • Path Planning Algorithms for Managing Multiple Simultaneous Flight Missions • Using MEMS-based Inertial Navigation Systems for Better Gyro-Compassing • Better Navigation Using a Sensor-Agnostic Generalized Information Fusion Filter • Real-Time 3-D Visualization for Autonomous Situation Awareness in Obscured Environments • Control Algorithms for Navigation and Path Planning in a Safe Cloud Environment • Considerations  and trade-Offs for Multi-Copter Power Source selection • Designing better Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Algorithms • Airframe Design Considerations • Design and Development Considerations for  High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Drones • Building Hack-Proof Drones with HACMS Technology • Drone RK: Resource Kernel Extensions to Linux for Better Real-Time Scheduling • Develop an Intelligent Autonomous Drone using an Android Smartphone • Using the embedded L4 Microkernel in Flying Drone Devices • Accuracy and block deformation analysis in automatic Drone and terrestrial photogrammetry • Aerial Locomotion in Cluttered Environments • Sensory systems and flight stability: What do insects measure and why • Control System Development for Small UAV Gimbals • Managing Avionics Safety Certification in Comercial Drones • Optical-based follow-me mode using the Edison microcontroller • Inside modifications of Arduino 1.0.3 for Ardupilot Drone Flyer • Team-level Programming of Drone Sensor Networks • Controlling Autonomous Multicopters using APM/ArduPilot • A well-trained drone. Geo-fencing for Arducopter • Running the ArduPilot SITL System to Simulate a Vehicle and Autopilot • How to Use gdb to Debug your Board or SITL • How to Add Parameters to Vehicle Code or Libraries • Comparing Micro-Scale Coaxial, Single-Rotor and Quadrotor Hovering Dynamics • Using Hadoop and Big Data Methodologies to Manage Your Petabytes of Data • Fuel Cell Basics • Fundamentals of Flying Beyond Line of Sight • Optimizing Drone flight plans for photogrammetric applications • Dense Multiple Stereo Matching of Highly Overlapping Drone Imagery • Energy-Time Efficiency in Aerial Swarm Deployment • Best Practices for Post-Mission Analysis • Build Your Own Flying Drone - Intro to Ardupilot • How to set up a full hardware-in-the-loop simulation with Xplane • Calculating the Center of Thrust on Multirotors • Mastering the OpenPilot Ground Control Station Platform • DIY Choices: CC vs CC3D vs REVO • Using Arduino Code to Test an Airspeed Sensor • Tutorial: Learning the ArduPilot Codebase InterDrone will be the biggest, coolest, and most info-packed commercial drone conference and expo EVER! Visit 80+ companies in the exhibit hall, check out the Yes-Fly Zone drone demo area, and while you’re at it, ride the zipline between the towers of Las Vegas’ Rio All Suites hotel and casino! Registration just opened!
