Course Description

This course consists of theoretical and practical classes which will enable students to fully understand the design of aerial robots, taking into account electromechanical components, dynamic modeling and control algorithms required for the design of small drones. Upon completion of their studies, students will be able to develop their unmanned aerial vehicle control system, derive a mathematical model of unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics, and, finally, design a controllable rotorcraft capable of applying contact with the environment.
