You should have basic proficiency in Python or C++ programming, a fundamental understanding of physics and mathematics (kinematics, linear algebra), and some familiarity with Linux command-line environments. No prior drone programming experience is required.

The curriculum covers PX4 Autopilot configuration, ROS 2 integration, MAVLink communication, path planning and waypoint navigation, SLAM and obstacle avoidance, computer vision with OpenCV for object detection, Gazebo simulation, custom flight mode development, and real-world drone deployment and field testing.

The course runs for 6 weeks and is designed for approximately 10-15 hours of study and hands-on practice per week. This includes video lectures, guided coding exercises, simulation work in Gazebo, and project development time.

You will complete three major projects: an autonomous delivery drone system, a precision agriculture surveying drone, and a search and rescue drone. Each project involves programming in PX4 and ROS 2, testing in Gazebo simulation, and implementing real-world capabilities such as computer vision, path planning, and mission automation.

This course prepares you for roles such as Autonomous Drone Programmer, Drone Software Engineer, and Robotics and Embedded Systems Developer. The drone industry is rapidly growing across sectors like logistics, agriculture, defense, and emergency services, and hands-on experience with PX4, ROS 2, and computer vision is highly sought after by employers.

You will work extensively with PX4 Autopilot for flight control, ROS 2 for robotics middleware, Gazebo for simulation, Python for scripting and automation, OpenCV for computer vision, and MAVLink for drone communication. All tools are open-source and widely used in the drone industry.
