Course describes the design, programming and control of autonomous drones. Students will learn how to write apps to compute and control the drone’s trajectories, including collision avoidance and object detection. Topics covered include system software and hardware architectures, use case models, interoperability, trajectory programming, communications protocols. Students will apply this knowledge in the context of programming assignments using drone simulator. Subsequently, students will develop apps to control autonomous drone vehicle. This is a 3 credit hour course
