Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for performing custom waypoint missions using an onboard computing device in communication with a movable object. The movable object can include a flight controller, and a communication system. The flight controller can be in communication with the onboard computing device which includes a processor and an onboard data manager. The onboard data manager can receive at least one input, determine one or more instructions to be performed by the at least one movable object based on the at least one input, generate movement commands to implement the one or more instructions, and send movement commands to the flight controller to be executed.
