KeiDrone — a follow-me drone built as one organism.

A follow-me drone platform where every rotor, sensor, and controller node is treated as part of a single coordinated ML organism — not a stack of independently tuned control loops.

What it does

KeiDrone keeps position and tracks a subject as a single ML system, rather than chaining a perception module, a planner, and a PID controller as separate, hand-tuned stages. The lab treats the whole drone as one organism: every node works under a shared goal instead of its own local objective.

Why an organism, not a pipeline

Traditional drone stacks isolate perception, planning, and control — every seam is a place where latency and error compound. Framing the drone as one coordinated system, driven by continuous-time neural control, is a deliberate ML-organism stand-in for the lab's hardware track.
