  TraQuad is an autonomous tracking quadcopter capable of tracking any moving
(or static) object like cars, humans, other drones or any other object
on-the-go. This article describes the applications and advantages of TraQuad
and the reduction in cost (to about 250$) that has been achieved so far using
the hardware and software capabilities and our custom algorithms wherever
needed. This description is backed by strong data and the research analyses
which have been drawn out of extant information or conducted on own when
necessary. This also describes the development of completely autonomous (even
GPS is optional) low-cost drone which can act as a major platform for further
developments in automation, transportation, reconnaissance and more. We
describe our ROS Gazebo simulator and our STATUS algorithms which form the core
of our development of our object tracking drone for generic purposes.
