Automated drone security
Is this achievable to a beginner? My idea is to have a drone like thing spending most of its time on the ground. If someone opens the door (front) a laser is tripped making the drone rise up, fly a very very short distance to the door (about a meter or less) and scan faces to make sure everyone is welcome. If a face scanned is not recognized, it sends an alert to my phone or something? Also would be good if it spoke and said something when a face was recognized. it would also be nice if it hovered at head level when scanning people at the door, following their heads if that makes sense would other ideas are welcome! Maybe selected scanning times where it flies a pre determined route to scan for people inside the house etc. Ideally i would like this to be as small as possible! Not the greatest knowledge of coding but know a very little bit of python. It would also be nice if it could be upgradable in future, eg Ai.

Re: Automated drone security
this sounds awesome and i want one. i think its possible, you could even have alexa or some kind of speaking system built into it but it would be a lot of work. would be good for it to return to a docking station and charge itself.
someone has a facial recognition project here https://www.hackster.io/gr1m/raspberry- ... ion-16e34e
it could be worth building a quadcopter http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Pi-Quadcopter/
the auto pilot could be difficult, how would you do that? perhaps GPS or radar? you can get an auto pilot kit http://www.robotshop.com/uk/navio2-auto ... i-2-3.html but id imagine you would need some kind of radar, movement detection, obstacle avoidance.
if its outside, maybe it would also need an Anemometer to measure the wind speed and know when not to take off?
im sure ive seen a project in the past where a guy had a raspberry auto pilot a drone with gps then for landing it on a docking station he had a second raspberry on the ground track and land the drone by sonar, but i cant find the project..
perhaps you can get lucky and find a project covering what you want, otherwise youll not be so much of a beginner once youve finished this one
