Design, Construction, and Testing of a Fully Actuated Multirotor Drone

What it is about

In this module you will learn the fundamentals for design, control engineering and trajectory planning of fully actuated multirotor drones. You will implement what you have learned in your own design, realize it in a group, and test and optimize the built drones in the flight lab.

What you will be able to do

• Size a multirotor drone's mechanics
• Select and design electronics and actuators
• Develop state feedback controllers for nonlinear MIMO systems
• Compute trajectories for fully actuated multirotor systems
• Evaluate literature in the field of aerial robotics

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of the necessary fundamentals
• Selbststudium/ProjektarbeitIndependent design of a drone
