The main purpose of this project was to demonstrate how drones can dynamically form sunshade structures based on real-time measurements of sunlight intensity changes.
In this project, I was coordinating my friend, Hossein, with my programming and mechatronics knowledge.

Hossein is a master student of Architecture and the Drone Driven Sunshade project was his idea. He designed and built the prototype of the structure so that we can test and proof the concept of drone driven sunshades in a smaller scale. On the other hand, I was responsible for the Drone control and mechatronics side of the project for tile placement mechanism.

We decided to use the DJI Tello drone mainly because it is programmable and we had the option to control in using python dji libraries. DJI Tello also has a camera mounted on it that makes it more valuable for our project. We planned to have image processing as well in our scenario using the camera. Image processing helped us on trajectory planner of the drone and drone tile placement mechanism.
