Description:
The Purdue Aerial Robotics Team is a competitive, multidisciplinary engineering design program to develop an autonomous UAV platform for the AUVSI-SUAS Competition. The team designs the airframe, avionics, imaging and data transmission system, and the ground control stations with associated software for autonomous operation. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to solve problems and further develop their technical design experience. This project has many real-world applications including search-and-rescue, surveillance, emergency first-response, and payload delivery.
