| + | ====== Course Title: A Comprehensive Course for Drone Constructors ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Volume of the course: contact hours ===== | ||
| + | Proposed volume: 1 semester, 3-5 ECTS | ||
| + | ===== Language ===== | ||
| + | English | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Abstract ===== | ||
| + | This course covers both drone usage and drone constructions, | ||
| + | ===== Goals and objectives of the course in terms of competencies and skills ===== | ||
| + | The aim of the course is to provide knowledge on drone constructions, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Outcomes: | ||
| + | * Be able to understand drone technology in general and in detail. | ||
| + | * Have an in-depth understanding of all drone ecosystem building components, their purpose, operation principles on both usage and construction details. | ||
| + | * Be able to design and implement a multirotor and fixed-wing drone for manual and autonomous operations. | ||
| + | * Be aware of device limitations. | ||
| + | * Be able to design and implement complex drone ecosystems that include aerial and ground units. | ||
| + | * Be able to understand, design and implement a variety of software components and communication components existing in the drone ecosystem. | ||
| + | * Be able to operate a flying platform in both manual and autonomous mode enough to test and benchmark the drone ecosystem. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Structure and tasks of independent studies ===== | ||
| + | Work is organised into: | ||
| + | * theoretical form, given by the lecturer in the form of multimedia presentations, | ||
| + | * self-study, using the attached workbook, | ||
| + | * practical part using drone simulators in the laboratory room, | ||
| + | * practical part in the laboratory room and outdoor (drone construction, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Course prerequisites ===== | ||
| + | Elementary mathematics and physics, software on use level, including both Windows and Linux OSes, a good understanding of electrical principles and laws is essential to smoothly perform through the course. Manual skills in soldering, mechanics and mechatronics is strongly advised. | ||
| + | ===== Course contents ===== | ||
| + | Proposed as for full-time studies with direct contact hours required for practical activities. | ||
