Meet the Teams
About Section:
Our club's main goal is to enable students to actively participate in a variety of practical experiences that will help them get ready for any obstacles they may face in the future. We consider that developing skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving ability is greatly aided by actual, real-world engagement. We strive to offer students a comprehensive learning experience where they can apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios through our wide choice of projects and activities, ultimately giving them the practical skills they need to succeed in their future careers.
MathWorks Mini-Drone Competition Team
The Mathworks MiniDrone Team focuses on utilizing MATLAB and Simulink simulations as part of their preparation for competition. The primary objective of the competition is to develop a sophisticated algorithm that harnesses a tracking system. This algorithm is designed with the specific task of guiding the drone to land precisely at the center of a designated circle.
Autonomous Mecanum Wheeled Vehicle
The autonomous Mecanum-wheeled vehicle stands as an internal project aimed at both preparing and enriching students' understanding of autonomous systems and algorithms. The overarching goal for this endeavor is to conceptualize and design a Mecanum-wheeled vehicle capable of autonomous navigation within our laboratory. The vehicle is tasked with the intricate responsibilities of tracking a specified object and seamlessly following its trajectory, contributing to a comprehensive learning experience for students involved in the project.
C-UASC Mechanical SubTeam
The Mechanical team is dedicated to designing the platform for the C-UAS (Counter Unmanned Aircraft System) competition scheduled for June. The primary requirements for the design include the capability to accommodate all electronics, incorporate a payload delivery mechanism, and maintain a lightweight construction to achieve a 30-minute flight time. This multifaceted approach aims to optimize the platform for both functionality and efficiency in meeting the competition's specifications.
C-UASC Electrical Sub-Team
The Electrical team is concentrated on the comprehensive development of a communication system, power system, and electrical infrastructure tailored to accurately display the drone's position, establish effective communication with the Ground Control Station (GCS), and sustain the drone's power requirements throughout its flight. This strategic focus encompasses the integration of advanced electrical technologies to ensure optimal performance and seamless operation during the drone's mission.
C-UASC Computer Science Sub-Team
The Computer Science team is dedicated to crafting an autonomous system designed to navigate using waypoints within a specified area. The primary objectives encompass the system's capability to locate, identify, and precisely drop the payload at its designated location. Furthermore, the team is committed to ensuring that the system seamlessly communicates critical data to the Ground Control Station (GCS). This includes real-time information such as velocity, GPS coordinates, and altitude, contributing to a comprehensive and responsive monitoring system.
