Wayfinder v 1.0

This is the prototype of the navigation system Wayfinder, developed by me. It uses sensors and logic to navigate around obstacles towards its goal. I hope more and more accurate and efficient navigation systems develop from this, so I have named it v 1.0.

The Wayfinder navigates around objects using these key systems:
Object detection
Left and Right object detection
Left and Right alternate route creator

Object detection
The system uses a proximity sensor to detect objects in front of it. It moves away from them, and then Left and Right systems do their work.

Left and Right object detection
Two proximity sensors cover a wider angle than the narrower middle one, and they determine where the object is. If the left sensor detects something, the obstacle is on the left, and vice versa. If an object is on its left, it turns away from it and attempts to continue. If the object is too large (showing on all three proximity sensors), then the Left and Right alternate route creator kicks in.

Left and Right alternate route creator
This sub-system uses two distance sensors, that detect objects on the far left and right across a decently long distance. If all three proximity sensors detect objects, this system turns towards the distance sensor that does NOT detect an object. Then, it uses stronger thrusters to override the main navigator (the standard distance sensor/thruster combo) and thus turn away from the imposing object.

This explanation of the Wayfinder navigation system is long and detailed, but I hope you enjoyed reading it. Bear in mind that glitches are probably evident and present, and this might be the first instalment of a series of navigation systems. Until next drone!
