SoftwarePilot: Fully Autonomous Aerial Systems Made Easier

Fully autonomous aerial systems (FAAS) are an increasingly relevant research topic to the computer systems community [1] –[6]. FAAS use unmanned aerial vehicles and edge and cloud compute resources to dynamically sense and respond to their environments without human piloting. FAAS can be used in crop scouting, autonomous photography, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and many other domains.
