HUGO is a water resistant quad-copter manufactured by Aerotestra. With a water resistant hull, HUGO can operate in inclement weather (light rain) and can land in water. Using four 45 Amp electronic speed controllers with custom motors, HUGO can fly at speeds up to 30 kts with 8 inch propellers. An APM autopilot allows the aircraft to fly autonomously. To control the APM, an ODROID U3 (1.7 GHz quadcore embedded processor) is connected to the autopilot. For vision, a Logitech C920 camera is mounted to a 2-axis gimbal allowing HUGO to “see”. Vision is processed onboard the Odroid. Communication between PropaGator 2 and the air frame is conducted via a wireless network.
