Stony Brook University Pre-College Summer: Aerial Robotics Recently Updated

Ready. Set. Let it fly! From autonomous vacuum cleaners to self-driving cars, many commercially available robots have impressive features under the hood. This course will teach you how to build a robot of your own – a micro quadcopter drone – and program it to fly across an arena. Through hands-on experimentation, you’ll learn the ins and outs of autonomous systems by working with hardware and software to assemble your robot and imbue it with intelligence.

Experiential learners will thrive in this week-long session that limits lectures in favor of practical application. Learn how to assemble and program a Crazyflie™ to locate and precisely land on a platform with the help of minimal sensory information. During this session, you will:

• Develop your programming skills Learn basic drone flight mechanics
• Debug hardware and software
• Practice safe flight testing and landing procedures

Life On Campus Outside of class, you will enjoy social activities, develop lasting friendships, and get a taste of college life on campus.
