Click a detected person in the live video and the drone follows, holding a configurable standoff distance and height. On-companion vision lock with a safety gate that stops commanding and never auto-re-acquires when the lock goes uncertain or is lost. Adds a flight Skill bound to a hotkey, a click-to-track video overlay, and a configuration tab.
Click a subject in the live video and the drone follows it at a fixed distance and height. A generic person/object detector on the companion produces detections; the operator designates one; the companion locks onto that track, projects its image position onto the ground, and feeds the flight controller guided position setpoints at a steady rate.
A lock-state safety gate stops commanding the instant the tracker reports the subject uncertain or lost, and never silently re-locks onto a different subject. The Follow-Me Skill in the cockpit Skill Bar arms and disarms the behavior; click a detected subject in the cockpit and pick Follow to designate it; the follow settings render as native controls; the node-detail tab carries a live read-back.
Requires a flight controller in a guided position-hold mode (ArduPilot Guided, PX4 Offboard/position). Works with a forward or downward camera; point a gimbal at the subject when one is present.
Flight behaviors this extension adds to the cockpit Skill Bar, each bindable to a hotkey or gamepad button.
The capabilities this extension requests. You approve them at install time; the sandbox denies anything not listed here.
Forecast footprint on the companion computer. The supervisor enforces the hard limits.
Live channels this extension publishes to Mission Control.
Report the follow read-back: lock state, whether it is commanding, range, and setpoints.
Disarm the follow behaviour. Only ever stops; a follow is started by an operator designating a subject, never by a tool.
Open Mission Control, then use the Extensions tab on a compatible node to browse the registry and install this extension. Mission Control installs the signed archive on the node you select; it activates after the signature is confirmed and the requested capabilities are approved.
The Follow-Me skill carries a glyph and binds to a named camera through the shared camera roster. Guided setpoints ride the shared flight facade; the lock-state safety gate is unchanged (stops and holds on an uncertain or lost lock, never auto-re-acquires). Manifest enriched for the redesigned install summary.
Click-to-follow now rides the host's shared target overlay and a "Follow this target" action, and adopts the platform's shared locked-target safety gate (stops and holds on an uncertain or lost lock, never auto-re-acquires).
Initial release. Click-to-follow person tracking with an on-companion vision lock, a configurable standoff distance and height, and a lock-state safety gate that stops on an uncertain or lost lock and never auto-re-acquires.
