Hello everyone;
We are planning to develop a solution/commercial application for indoor Rugs/Carpets warehouse inventory management using autonomous flight. The main features of our drone should have to be;
Navigation in indoor large Rugs warehouse using vision/indoor non-GPS based solutions.
Path planning; After creating 3 D mapping of warehouse using manual flight mode, we have to specify the path which drone should have to follow to reach its destination (This is very important feature. Rather than autonomous navigation to a single point using auto generated path, we have to specify the complete path manually and drone should follow that path.)
Bins and rugs detection and counting using YOLOv8 and onboard computer.
Now, we want guidance that as per our requirements; which drone would be most suitable to purchase? either M500 or Startling v2? Starling v2 has delivery time of 2 months which is not suitable for us because of time constraints which leaves us with the option to buy voxl M500! Would M500 be suitable for the above mentioned task? If yes, can we replace stereo cameras of M500 with Time of Flight camera of Modal AI for better depth estimation considering stereo cameras' precision would be less than ToF camera?
Looking forward for your expert guidance. We are open to suggestion for ModalAi's drones other than M500 and Starling!
