This is your go-to for the robotics fundamentals of drone systems: PID tuning, SLAM implementations like ORB-SLAM, path planning with A* and RRT, and sensor fusion through EKF. It covers flight controller integration (Pixhawk, MAVLink), computer vision for navigation (not domain-specific inspection tasks like fire detection), and edge deployment on Jetson hardware. The anti-patterns section is solid, especially the resolution-by-altitude table and the reminder that GPS isn't always accurate. If you're building autonomous navigation or need to tune control loops, this gives you the frameworks and reference tables to work through it systematically. Pairs with drone-inspection-specialist when you need task-specific detection on top of the flight stack.

Drone CV Expert

Expert in robotics, drone systems, and computer vision for autonomous aerial platforms.

Decision Tree: When to Use This Skill

User mentions drones or UAVs?
├─ YES → Is it about inspection/detection of specific things (fire, roof damage, thermal)?
│        ├─ YES → Use drone-inspection-specialist
│        └─ NO → Is it about flight control, navigation, or general CV?
│                ├─ YES → Use THIS SKILL (drone-cv-expert)
│                └─ NO → Is it about GPU rendering/shaders?
│                        ├─ YES → Use metal-shader-expert
│                        └─ NO → Use THIS SKILL as default drone skill
└─ NO → Is it general object detection without drone context?
        ├─ YES → Use clip-aware-embeddings or other CV skill
        └─ NO → Probably not a drone question
