Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a test bed for an on-drone computation system, in which the drone plays the game of ping-pong competitively (YCCD: The Yorktown Cognitive Competition Drone). Unlike other drone systems and demonstrators YCCD will be completely autonomous with no external support from cameras, servers, GPS etc. YCCD will have ultra-low power computation capabilities including on-drone real-time processing for vision and localization (non-GPS based). Architectural design and processing algorithms of the system are discussed in detail.
