Autonomous Drone Racing Challenge
Projects | | Links:
Co-led a team of 12 people to organize an autonomous drone racing competition between two drones (each one managed by one team). The competition was based on three main tests: a straight-line speed race through four gates, a race through four gates forming a semicircle, and a freestyle test.
The project was tackled from a system’s engineering perspective, ellaborating the operations concept, establishing the system requirements and specifications, and designing the system from high to low level. Next, the system was modelled and finally it was implemented and tested. The system was composed of a ground station to plan the optimal race trajectory and send it to the drone, which followed and appropiately modified this trajectory to ensure it passed through the center of the gates.
