Course Details
Objectives: Nowadays, the application of drones covers a growing specter. Drones are especially prized for being cost effective, stable, semi or fully autonomous and able to carry loads. Several missions involving drones, such as search and rescue, monitoring or even exploration actions have been carried out.
To increase the possibilities enabled by the drones, robotic arms can be attached to their surface. Such systems allow drones to fulfill more complex missions that require interactions between the drone and the environment.
This 3-week program aims at providing you key concepts about the flying equation system and about how to build and control drones with a robotic arm.
First, with the expertise of the team, you will learn how to design a robot using one of the most used robotic environments: Robot Operating System.
Second, you will build, stabilize, and make a real bicopter fly.
Prerequisites: Basics of python and C/C++
Intermediate programming skills
Understanding of Object-Oriented Programming.
Admission requirements: Recommended to have 2 years of higher education in robotics.
Duration and terms: 3 weeks.
Students will receive a certificate granting them the equivalent of 6 ECTS (European credits) for the 3-weeks program.
Notes: IPSA Summer School is as much about having fun as it is about learning!
Participants will have a memorable experience in Paris through the interactive visits and intercultural workshops we prepare all along the 3-week program.
From language and gastronomic activities, to cruises, guided tours and visits, students will discover Paris and French culture in all its forms.
