Date: November 6, 8, 9 & 11, 2023 (Mon, Wed, Thu & Sat)
Time: 6:30 – 9:00pm (Weekdays); 10:00am -12:00nn (Sat)
Venue: Open Event Area, Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One, HKU
HKUUAS aims to build a community of students who are interested in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and drone technology. In the training series, you will learn the scientific principle behind a quadcopter. You will also have the opportunity to practice piloting First-person view (FPV) drone and using ground control station software.
Objectives:
By the end of workshop, participants will be able to:
- Gain basic understanding of current UAV technologies;
- Learn basic techniques for piloting FPV drones;
- Understand the control theory behind quadcopters and how to create one;
- Identify quadcopter drone parts and their functions;
- Utilize Ground Control Station (GCS) software; and
- Learn about obstacle avoidance algorithms and their applications
