Future Work

Features we didn't get to add to the project due to time constraints include functions for multiple drones and synchronized lighting and dancing of the drones.

A planned feature was to provide collision avoidance for flying multiple drones at the same time, queuing up song requests distributed between multiple drones. This would require some form of optimization algorithm on the Air Traffic controller determining which drone is the closest to a request location, along with a collision avoidance system to ensure the drones don't get too close together. Having multiple drones available might also allow synchronizing music between multiple drones to play the same song at the same time over a larger area.

Another feature we would like to have added is "dancing" lights and slight movements of the drone in the air synchronized to the beat of the music. This would require some musical analysis algorithm on the onboard computer and some extra lighting attachments on the drone for lighting effects.
