Description

Join This Group

Our Aim: 

To inspire and promote an enjoyable experience for any and all University of Bristol students (regardless of course studied) using UAV technology.

Our Objectives: 

  • To allow students to have a hands-on experience in building UAVs
  • To teach students how to fly UAVs
  • To equip students with the skills and knowledge to progress to UAV systems that involve complex automation

 

How We Achieve This:

Due to changing COVID-19 recommended rules and regulations, our activities for this year will be slightly different. Regardless of how our events will look this year due to social distancing, they will follow a similar format as in previous years (with some new ones coming up). Have a look below:

UAV Building Sessions: Have a go at building your own UAV! 

Indoor/Outdoor Flying Events: Want to learn how to fly a small UAV? Maybe you need to fly something bigger? Well you can with us. We will post updates on when our sessions will take place for this year so keep an eye on our pages! We have a wide range of UAVs to choose from such as the H107C+ for beginners, the E61 for some FPV action, the E520S for capturing the moments with a laid back approach to flying. If you’re an advanced flyer, then try out our F450 Quadcopter frames.

 

Autonomous Sessions: Want to program missions for a UAV and sit back while it does all the hard work for you? You can with us. We run sessions that teach students how to use mission planning software and develop their own mission using our advanced UAVs. You can then test your mission at our flying location. Once you are confident in planning and operating missions, we can then also teach you how to observe a certain location with a camera. We take on all abilities and disciplines so please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested.
