This course is a room share with ME136, and teaches students the dynamic analysis and control of uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs). The course covers modeling and dynamics of aerial vehicles, common control strategies, sensing and estimation. A laboratory sequence allows students to apply knowledge on a real quadcopter system, by programming a microcontroller to control a UAV.

Class Notes

This course is complemented by laboratory courses – a simulation lab (ME 236SL) and a hardware lab (ME 236HL). Students are encouraged to enroll in one of the lab courses. The hardware lab aims to provide hardware experiments corresponding to the theory provided in this course, and students work in teams for the hardware labs. The simulation labs provide a virtual version of the hardware labs, and students may work either alone or in teams in the simulation labs. show less
