Evander

The Evander variant extends the barebone MAVISS platform by integrating the RoboSense AC1. This configuration enables advanced perception capabilities for mapping and environment understanding, while still maintaining a relatively lightweight setup.

It is best suited for:

• 3D environment mapping – generating dense point clouds of the flight area.

• Perception-enhanced navigation – providing situational awareness for semi-autonomous or supervised missions.

• Visual Interial Odometry (VIO) – Providing External Vision for indoor stable flight without relying on the GPS.

• Research experiments – testing LiDAR-based SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and perception-driven autonomy modules.
