Dear all, For the last year I've working in a project to make a *palm-size drone*. I wanted to come up with a robot that included a *general purpose OS*, enough processing power to run some basic CV algorithms and making it *as low cost as possible*. I initially started using the OMAP-L138 but soon after that i got in touch with the BeagleBone and its incredible capabilities. This together with the availability of the hardware documentation made me change my mind and start over again. The experience has been amazing and after a year working with the BeagleBone i can just say *thanks to the BeagleBoard guys and to the community* as well. I believe something outstanding has been built around this little board. Something that definitely can provide us, new engineers the chance to create a new world of devices.
This journey brought me to Erle Robotics <http://erlerobot.com/>, a startup launched with the aim of putting this little robot out there in the market. Our latest revision includes *17 sensors *(GPS, altimeters, range-finders,...), capabilities of using different *wireless technologies*(Bluetooth, WiFi). Furthermore the device has already been interfaced with cameras and microphones. Much progress has been done however we still believe there's much to do thereby i would like to ask you to share with me any thoughts you might have regarding this project. <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3jgw6kX8b4w/UqA-fkaLI7I/AAAAAAAAAWs/mviiWtKLED0/s1600/20131202_214742.jpg> You can read more about us at http://erlerobot.com. I will be looking forward to get your feedback. Best wishes, Víctor. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
