Drone in air

About

The purpose of this project is to create an autonomous aerial drone in a multidisciplinary team composed of electrical/computer engineering students as well as mechanical/aerospace engineering students. The original objectives of this project were provided by our project sponsor, Lockheed Martin. The main objective was to create an autonomous drone to navigate through an obstacle course consisting of a ring, a pylon, a double-pylon, and an acoustic waypoint.
