Projects You Will Build
Practical, enterprise-grade projects that reflect real industry challenges
Precision Agriculture Drone
Design and build a custom drone system that autonomously surveys farmland, uses computer vision to assess crop health via NDVI-like analysis, and generates actionable field maps. Integrate GPS waypoint navigation, onboard camera processing with OpenCV, and telemetry logging through MAVLink and QGroundControl.
Autonomous Search and Rescue Drone
Develop a fully autonomous drone capable of navigating unknown environments, avoiding obstacles using depth sensors, and detecting human subjects with a deep learning object detection model deployed on NVIDIA Jetson. Leverage PX4 Autopilot, ROS 2 for system integration, and Gazebo for simulation testing before real-world flights.
Synchronized Drone Swarm Light Show
Program a fleet of simulated and physical drones to execute a choreographed aerial light show using swarm intelligence algorithms and inter-drone communication via MAVLink. Implement precise position control, collision avoidance, and formation management using the PX4 stack and ROS 2 multi-agent coordination.
