MICRO-502 / 4 crédits

Enseignant: Floreano Dario

Langue: Anglais


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 and real 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, and project with simulated and real drones

Expected student activities

Attending classes and asking critical questions; performing exercises and answering possible quizzes within a week; program a simulated drone to complete a mission; form groups to assemble, program, and characterize physical mini-drone for a mission; prepare a powerpoint presentation of the method used for the mission of the physical drone and assess its performance; demonstrate the drone performance in the mission.
