Projects You Will Build

Practical, enterprise-grade projects that reflect real industry challenges

01

Custom Autonomous Survey Drone System

Design a purpose-built drone with optimized aerodynamics and payload integration for aerial surveying. Implement state estimation using extended Kalman filters fusing IMU, GPS, and barometer data, and develop a mission planner for autonomous waypoint-based coverage. Simulate the full system in Gazebo and validate control performance under wind disturbances.

02

GPS-Denied Navigation with Sensor Fusion

Build an autonomous navigation stack for indoor or GPS-denied environments using visual-inertial odometry, LiDAR-based SLAM, and sensor fusion on an embedded Jetson platform. Implement obstacle detection and avoidance using deep learning-based perception and test the system in a simulated warehouse inspection scenario.

03

Cooperative Drone Swarm for Search and Rescue

Develop a multi-drone swarm system with distributed task allocation, collision avoidance, and coordinated area coverage algorithms for search-and-rescue missions. Implement inter-drone communication protocols in ROS 2 and validate the swarm behavior in Gazebo simulation with varying team sizes and dynamic environments.
