3D Autonomous Path Planning in GPS-Denied Environment

Build a lightweight, camera-fused autonomous navigation system for a standard drone to fly a permissible 3D corridor and land reliably without GPS.

Evaluation only · Open

Overview

Problem statement PS05 for STPI at BPUT Hackathon 2026. Build for a standard drone platform, fusing ground-tracked position feedback with the onboard camera view to improve landing accuracy.

The brief

Develop a smart algorithm for autonomous navigation along a permissible corridor in 3D and implement it successfully on hardware mounted on a standard drone. The guidance algorithm should take active feedback from ground regarding its tracked position and fuse it with view from the drone camera to improve positional accuracy of drone and therefore improving reliability of autonomous landing. The hardware used should be lightweight with minimum power requirement.
