Introduction to Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology (Summer School)

Knowledge of object oriented programming. 

The course is similar to courses offered on the study programmes in Robot Systems Engineering and therefore NOT available to robotics students from SDU. 

• UAS applications and current research
• UAS platforms, control surfaces, power systems, system integration, ground control systems
• UAS flight controller hardware and software
• UAS positioning, navigation, route planning
• UAS wireless communication systems
• UAS legislation, safety & risk assessment, operations planning

• Apply robotics competencies to the design and development of unmanned aircrafts
• Show and overall understanding of the applicability of UAS technology to problems in different domains

• Participate in finding technical applicable solutions to the design and development of UAS subsystems and payload modules
• Contribute to the development in research and industrial UAS projects

This course will teach you the basics of drone technology hardware, software and systems. This course involves introduction to the UAVs theories and technologies followed by laboratory exercises in SDU Drone Lab and SDU UAS Test Center at the airport. Based on the knowledge and experiences you gain during this course you will build and fly a multirotor UAV outside at the airport (in teams of 3-4 students). Throughout the course, focus will be on integration of components and subsystems required for a drone platform. 

Time of classes
Two weeks in August 

Please note that this course will only be offered if physical presence on campus is possible; otherwise it will be cancelled.
