Drone design for object detection using YOLOv8

In this ongoing work, we have designed a drone that is controlled by a wireless transmitter, utilizing the Pixhawk flight controller to ensure smooth and stable flight operations. Additionally, the drone features a camera for capturing aerial images and videos. The custom-built drone is capable of flying and detecting objects through a camera frame. We have incorporated the powerful YOLOv8 object detection algorithm for accurate object detection. The final results showcase drone-based object detection with high accuracy in milliseconds.
