Winter Training Program on Drone with Autopilot System at VXL IT Academy, Skyfi Labs Center, Vijayawada

Course Introduction

By attending this workshop, you will learn to build your own quadcopter and develop a drone with an autopilot system that can autonomously fly a programmed route and perform various maneuvers programmatically. The drone that you develop will have a GPS, autopilot system and live transmission to the ground station. Understanding this technology is very essential for various applications like aerial photogrammetry, 3D mapping, multispectral imaging etc.

This workshop introduces you to the technologies involved in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the techniques involved in making a working autonomous drone. You will practically understand the basics of Quadcopter design, electronics involved, sensors, navigation, communication systems and autopilot system.

Course Outcomes

• Functioning of a Quadcopter
• Learn the basics of aviation engineering
• Build a rotary-wing UAV: Quadrotor
• Understanding the Electronics involved in Quadrotor
• Sensors, navigation, autopilot system and Telemetry
• Autopilot software and ground station
• Flight Trails and error rectification
• Hands-on experience with DC motors, electronic speed controllers, Autopilot board, Autopilot software, GPS and Telemetry

Course Structure and Topics covered

• Introduction to UAVs, History, classifications
• Fixed and rotary wing air vehicles
• Fabrication of UAV frames
• Quadcopter Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
• Autopilot Systems, GPS and Telemetry
• DC Motors, ESCs and Power Systems
