Amazing world of opensource Remote Vehicles

Fishpi
This project is powered by solar panels,gps recevier,magnetic compass.It is a boat project and is able to navigate autonomously on water surface.This machine achieved an incredible feat by crossing the atlantic ocean fully autonomously using just its sensor data.Raspberry Pi board is used as CPU for this project.

Aeroquad
Its a quadrotor based on arduino board.This project use many sensors such as gyroscope,barometer,ultrasonic ranger and gps receiever.Complete design is open source and its being actively developed.


OpenROV
Innovators have not left any possiblitiies yet to be explored - air,land,water all have been traversed by remote controlled rovers and its now turn for UNDER-WATER exploration.Openrov is a submarine and is based on beaglebone board.Its amazing underwater videos could be viewed on it Youtube Channel.

ArdupilotOne
ArdupilotOne is an arduino based autopilot system that can pilot airplanes, quad rotors, boats, and ground vehicles.

ArduPilot-Mega
Its based on custom board APM 1/2 dedicated for autopilot mode.It has many unique advantages like- waypoints could be marked in advance or modified on journey,the entire trip route can be planned.
This project is supported by desktop application,APM Planner for monitiring and controlling the remote drone .It also supports failsafe return when the drone goes out communication coverage.

Projects under it are -

1.Arducopter

2.ArduPlane

3.Ardurover

Dilemma of knowledge

Graphical representation of knowledge in forms of alphabet is too hard to visualize. Knowledge or previous experience was first gained orally when human beings learned to speak. Then arose a need to preserve knowledge in exact form,which was not possible through verbal mode. So, gradually words were given shapes/symbols to represent knowledge. In the industrial age machines were invented for mass production of knowledge in forms of text.
        Its a great sense of hypocrisy that we still use the same means of knowledge transmission that was used by our forefathers, even after achieving many technological breakthroughs like television, digital media and currently we have 3D (the tag-line – Experience it in 3D). ..( to be continued) - tbc

Controlling Reality/Nature

At Quantum level, 53x10^(-12m),
poition and velocity cannot be
measured simultaneously, with
precison.If somehow, someone can
ucontrol uncertainity/luck, she/he
 can become God.Luck emerges from
Quantum level (10-(53)m).In future,
with a powerful computer, we can
 run a simulation eactly as reality
.This program will goto quark level
 and also to cluster of galaxies.
