R&D Drone Project for Alvia Systems Inc
This project aims for students to design, develop, and build a functional hardware drone, incorporating electrical work, hardware assembly, and research and development. The objective is to provide comprehensive hands-on experience in drone technology, including design, component integration, and testing. By the end of the project, students will have learned the essentials of drone development, showcasing their ability to connect their learning experience with industry skills in electronics, hardware engineering, and R&D.
Low-Cost VTOL Development with Fire Detection via ML
The objective of this project is to design and develop a small-scale, cost-effective VTOL drone equipped with a flight controller and a fire detection system using machine learning (ML). The drone should be designed with modularity in mind, allowing for future sensor and component upgrades. Given budget constraints, the project will focus on using standard cameras and ML-based fire detection instead of expensive thermal cameras. Students will be responsible for developing the drone’s software, integrating sensors, and implementing the ML-based fire detection system while ensuring the design is scalable for larger applications.
