The Drone Recovery Rover is an autonomous rover that utilizes camera vision, LIDAR, and GPS to retrieved crashed race drones inside an enclosed arena called the DRONEDOME. This project prevents the need for workers to enter the racing area allowing for races to continue when a drone needs to be picked up. This platform allows for scalability to larger applications of autonomous retrieval.
