M2.03 - Drone Recovery Rover & Landing Pad

Airogistic

UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are becoming more prevalent as new technology emerges and it is critical to have an autonomous diagnostic system in place to ensure safe flying. The first part of the project will work with electrical and industrial engineering students to develop autonomous diagnostic systems for a drone landing pad. This includes a sensor actuator (temperature, RPM, and audio sensors), frame stabilization, and force sensor coupling. The second part of the project is to work with electrical engineering students on a drone recovery rover which will autonomously retrieve fallen drones during flight assessments in a drone dome testing facility. This includes a robotic arm, racer drone cage, solutions for tires and suspension, and multiple component mounts.
