Working with a private company under a Department of Defense grant, we developed Python code utilizing the DroneKit API to enable our quadrocopter to fly itself to a specified location (given by latitude and longitude) and orbit that point. This location was determined by the type of activity happening there. The code and DroneKit are very versatile and could be adapted for many different applications.
