Teaching my custom AI drone to track humans
Channel: aka: Matchstic
Date: 2022-07-25

I paired an NVIDIA Jetson Nano and an OAK-D Lite depth camera to allow my drone, Stanley, to follow me around!

This project has been a year in the making. In this episode, I cover details on the hardware I used, alongside the approaches I took in building the Python control code. 

I really struggled to fit all the content in under 20 mins!
