The AT&T Clinic project is to develop a drone-based system to collect data on over-the-air digital television signals, particularly signal strength, clarity, and orientation across location and altitude. The system will include an operating procedure, easy-to-use operation and visualization software, drone selection, and onboard hardware, as well as the reasoning behind design choices and recommendations for future improvements.
