今天的无人机机器人实验室位于一个大房间内。有时，它们的大小相当于一个仓库。这些空间通常配备有用于定位无人机的永久设备，例如，Vicon红外摄像机投入大量时间来微调定位装置以计算和控制无人机的位置。人们可以使用这些实验室来开发具有配置有光源的微型无人机的3D多媒体系统。作为替代方案，这篇勇敢的新想法论文设想将这些房间大小的实验室缩小到放在桌子上的立方体或长方体的大小，成本不到1万美元。由此产生的Dronevision（DV）将是20世纪90年代电视机的大小。除了光源之外，其Flying Light Specks（FLSs）将是具有存储和处理能力的网络无人机，以实现分散算法。DV将包括本地化技术，以加快3D显示器的开发。它将充当用户与3D虚拟照明交互和操纵3D虚拟照明的触觉接口。它将使实验人员能够设计，实施，测试，调试和维护软件和硬件，在舒适的办公室中实现新的算法，而无需保留实验室。除了提高生产率外，它还将通过最大限度地减少事故的可能性来提高实验者的安全性。本文介绍了DV的概念，研究议程之一，可以追求使用这种设备，和我们的计划，以实现一个。
Today's robotic laboratories for drones are housed in a large room. At times, they are the size of a warehouse. These spaces are typically equipped with permanent devices to localize the drones, e.g., Vicon Infrared cameras. Significant time is invested to fine-tune the localization apparatus to compute and control the position of the drones. One may use these laboratories to develop a 3D multimedia system with miniature sized drones configured with light sources. As an alternative, this brave new idea paper envisions shrinking these room-sized laboratories to the size of a cube or cuboid that sits on a desk and costs less than 10K dollars. The resulting Dronevision (DV) will be the size of a 1990s Television. In addition to light sources, its Flying Light Specks (FLSs) will be network-enabled drones with storage and processing capability to implement decentralized algorithms. The DV will include a localization technique to expedite development of 3D displays. It will act as a haptic interface for a user to interact with and manipulate the 3D virtual illuminations. It will empower an experimenter to design, implement, test, debug, and maintain software and hardware that realize novel algorithms in the comfort of their office without having to reserve a laboratory. In addition to enhancing productivity, it will improve safety of the experimenter by minimizing the likelihood of accidents. This paper introduces the concept of a DV, the research agenda one may pursue using this device, and our plans to realize one.
