Develop | Control | Fly

About

Our 3-week program aims at providing you key concepts about the flying equation system and about how to build and control drones with a robotic arm. First, with the expertise of our team, you will learn how to design a robot using one of
the most used robotic environments: Robot Operating System. Second, you will build, stabilize, and make a real bicopter fly.

The cultural fun is garanteed by the interactive visits and intercultural workshops all along the 3-week program.
