Unmanned and Automated Technologies
Using Drones to create infrastructure in the 21st century.
WHAT ARE UNMANNED AND AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGIES?
Unmanned and Automated Technologies also known as Drones, are technologies that allow for
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to perform task without a pilot on board or by automation. This
technology is powered by smart software platforms and are used in several industries to
perform high level task, such as defense applications in the military that range from unmanned
under water vehicles (submarines) to unmanned ground vehicles (tanks). Drones are used in
the private sector also. For task that used to require a helicopter aerial view to take a photo or
video, businesses are opting for Drones instead. The list goes on and on.
STUDENT UAV (DRONE) CHALLENGE
The Ultimate Student UAV Challenge is designed to get students to reverse engineer the brain
of a drone and customize it with an Arduino-based flight controller for the purpose of carrying
out different flight missions. Through this challenge, students integrate hardware and software
systems while incorporating fundamental STEM skills.
Curriculum
Students learn to configure, reverse engineer, build, code and fly the drone. The key focus
lessons dive into concepts such as aerodynamics, electricity, computer programming and
physical laws of motion. As with all Student STEM Challenges, these concepts and skills are
cultivated through the framework of innovation. Students model a business or organization that
applies the technology to improve society.
