Aerial robotics
Summary
The course provides an introduction to the design, control, and applications of aerial robots. Students will be able to translate theoretical concepts into practice by means of hands-on exercises with simulated drones.
Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
Mobile Robots
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Identify drone types
- Describe aerodynamic foundations of drones
- Compare different design types
- Analyze costs and benefits of specific design for specific mission
- Assess / Evaluate control methods for specific missions
- Implement control algorithm on drone
- Set objectives and design an action plan to reach those objectives.
- Describe applications and regulations
- Conduct an experiment with simulated and real drones
Transversal skills
- Set objectives and design an action plan to reach those objectives.
- Assess progress against the plan, and adapt the plan as appropriate.
- Make an oral presentation.
Teaching methods
Lectures, software exercises, exercises and project with real drones
