Description​

In this course we are going to build a Cloud Application for Remote Drone Control Operations.
We are going to code it from the grounds up - line by line - from 0 to the complete working solution.
This application will allow you by using only a web page have a complete control of each of the drones, that could be assembled for any purpose - from a security missions to a delivery of pizza in miles of radius with range limit set only by a capacity of the battery.
Just imagine how cool and powerful such a thing really is:

• all of the time, on the web page you will be receiving very low latency live video stream from all of the drones,
• you will be able to share video link with anyone anywhere in the world,
• you will be seeing all of the drones on the interactive map,
• you will have full manual control of each of your custom build DIY Drone
• you will be able to control it from anywhere in the world,
• and you will be able at any time to setup and activate missions on any of those drones while they are flying.

So by the end of this course, you will not only learn a very useful skills in Java, Python and JavaScript, but most importantly, you will see how all these technologies could work together as one coherent distributed application that could easily have a real world usage.
You could adjust it to serve as a base for your own drone startup idea!
So to sum it up:

• we will use Java to build a single file easy to deploy backend of our cloud platform that will manage drone connections
• we will use Python to build application that runs on Raspberry Pi and controls the drone itself
• we will use JavaScript to write a single page application for our interactive user interface
• and we will make all those applications work together as a single cloud platform for remote drone operations

Who this course is for:​

• Developers interested to develop cloud application for remote 4G/5G drone control
• Developer interested how to stream low latency video from a Raspberry Pi (many) to a Web Page
• Drone enthusiast who with to build something custom for their remote drone control usage
• Developers who enjoy expanding their horizons
• Anyone who has an idea for complex 4G drone application but needs a solid starting point from which to build upon
