SDU UAS Center offers an annual Drone Summer School with lots of hands-on building and flying drones in our labs at HCA Airport.

Drones for Computer Vision Applications


Information on the Drone Summer School 2025 will be coming soon...

You can already now safe the dates from 4th-15th of August 2025.

 

Previous Summer School 2024:

(the information below describes the 2024 Drone Summer School, but we keep it here for your inspiration)

This course will teach you how to construct and fly drones for real-world applications based on computer vision. You will work in teams of 3 students on lab exercises in drone hardware and software, computer vision algorithms, drone operations, and ethics. This leads to a mini project where you construct a multirotor drone and a camera payload, fly the drone outdoors at the nearby national UAS Denmark Test Center, and then use your computer vision algorithms to post-process the recorded video footage. You will also get presentations of state-of-the-art drone research and innovation.

What will you do...

  • Build and fly a multirotor drone
  • Create a camera payload
  • Fly your drone at HCA Airport
  • Process videos using computer vision algorithms
  • Learn about drone ethics
  • Work in teams on a drone project.

The 2024 Drone Summer School is linked to the EU project WildDrone.

Join us for...

  • A hands-on approach to drone engineering
  • A fun and informal learning environment
  • Work together with drone researchers
  • Expanding your professional drone network
  • Visiting the home of robotics in Odense, Denmark
  • Social events with international students
