Laboratory, three hours; outside study, three hours. Introduction to autonomous drone engineering, exploring airframe structure and software controls. Airframe topics include computer-aided design, manufacturing, drone propulsion, and electronics. Software controls topics include implementing professional flight software, data analysis, and real-time system responses. Students work in teams to design, build, and test drone that competes in task-based competition. Students present and explain their design choices. No prior experience or coursework required. Study led by experienced undergraduate members of UCLA unmanned aerial systems group. Letter grading.
