You need odometry for that. There are opticalflow modules that will allow you to do that, but they cost power.
- dharma1 8y agoPower draw by a SoC like Nvidia tx2 (can probably do it with a cheaper chip too) for camera based navigation without GPS is not a big issue, the motors are far more power hungry

Same(ish) range, high rate of fire, designed to be anti-personnel, provides plenty of time to vacate the area after initiating a bombardment. Bringing tech into the equation doesn't add much when you're talking about a payload in the single-digit pounds region.
