What is the Vision Positioning System?

A Vision Positioning System (VPS) is a technology that allows drones to navigate and stabilise in environments where GPS signals are weak or unavailable. By using downward-facing cameras and sometimes supplementary sensors like ultrasonic or infrared modules, VPS analyses patterns, textures, and visual features of the surroundings to calculate the drone’s position, velocity, and movement. This system enables stable hovering, precise manoeuvres, and safe operation indoors or in complex environments, effectively giving drones the ability to “see” and understand their immediate surroundings.

Purpose

This video explains how VPS works in drones, including mechanisms, practical applications, advantages, limitations, and strategies for accurate indoor navigation. It helps viewers understand how drones maintain stability and position without relying on GPS, enhancing safety and operational precision.
