This course presents students with the fundamentals of unmanned aerial systems. Coverage includes UAVs components, configurations, classifications, communication frameworks, fundamentals of flight, regulations, safety, and future challenges. Also, the course covers performance, mathematical modeling and system dynamics of UAVs, and common control techniques to improve system’s stability and performance with more emphasis on multirotor UAVs. Students shall apply basic knowledge on a real system, i.e. drones.
Pre-requisites: (MATH208 Or MATH202) And PHYS102
