Improving robustness with sensor calibration on our Navio-based architecture
In order to make our algorithms more robust, we are implementing automatic calibration procedures for sensors, and in particular the magnetometer, on the Navio-based architecture. The main issue is to make the procedure fully automatic, as it will take several hours from the moment we launch our drone to the moment automatic navigation is activated (see our post on our collaboration with StratoFly to launch our drone from the stratosphere). During that time a drift occurs and this needs to be corrected.
