Inspiration
Our inspiration came from imagining a future where anyone can effortlessly control and interact with advanced drone technology. We were fascinated by the idea of integrating conversational AI with autonomous vehicles, envisioning a tool that could not only navigate but intelligently interpret its surroundings. Inspired by the endless possibilities of space exploration and pushing technological frontiers, Altivue was born.

What It Does
Altivue is a personal patrolling drone system controlled seamlessly via a laptop interface. It combines advanced AI techniques—including YOLO v5 object detection and Retrieval-Augmented Generation—to interpret commands, detect, and identify objects in real-time. Altivue recognizes numerous objects such as cars, people, animals, and everyday items, allowing it to function as an intelligent security patrol, safety monitor, or exploratory vehicle.

How We Built It
We integrated multiple cutting-edge technologies: • YOLO v5: For real-time, accurate object detection. • Tello Drone SDK: Providing robust flight capabilities and command responsiveness. • React, HTML, CSS: Crafting an intuitive, space-themed, visually engaging user interface. • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Allowing contextual interpretation and execution of complex commands issued by the user, enhancing drone responsiveness and decision-making.
These technologies combined enabled us to build a cohesive, intelligent drone system that bridges the gap between autonomous flight and conversational robotics.

Challenges We Ran Into
• Real-time Integration: Synchronizing YOLO’s object detection output with drone commands was challenging, requiring precise timing and network management.
• Network Stability: Maintaining a stable connection between our drone and the laptop interface, especially when multiple processes like video streaming and object detection were occurring simultaneously.
• Model Performance: Optimizing YOLO v5 to deliver reliable and accurate detections while balancing computational load, ensuring our drone remained responsive without latency.
