Unmanned Vehicle Systems - NC State Aerial Robotics Club
For the month of April, IEEE RA24 local chapter recognizes "Aerial Robotics Club at NC state" which is an active and impressive world level champion group. It is a group that designs and build UAV ground up involving airframe, electrical systems, and software. They have proven history of recognitions and distinctions not limited to just below.
- 1st Place - AUVSI SUAS 2014, 3rd Place - AUVSI SUAS 2015, 2nd Place - AUVSI SUAS 2016
- World champions at AUVSI SUAS 2010 and 2014, and top three for four consecutive years.
- Custom designed and built an entirely new system in 2013
- Recognized in AUVSI Unmanned Systems North America magazine
- Invited exhibitor at AUVSI North America conference in 2013 and 2011
Please refer to https://aerialroboticsclub.com/ for more details.
In April 3rd IEEE RA24 session, Josh Glazer, ARC Public Relations Officer and Justin Easter from the group, will provide a casual session in their own way with a brief UAV technical design overview, prototypes, previous experiences, "challenges & success" with respect to the AUVSI SUAS competition.
We will finish it up with members "show and tell" if any.
Speaker information:
In 2016, the Aerial Robotics Club at NC State competed in the 2016 AUVSI Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) competition at Webster Field Annex, MD. This is the 14th year the club has competed, and also the 14th year of the competition. The Aerial Robotics Club is the only team that has competed in every year of the competion. The club returned to Webster Field this year with a new airframe, Fenrir3, with primary new development being made in software and the ground station.
The SUAS competition requires fully autonomous takeoff, flight, and landing, with completion of a waypoint course and interoperability of telemetry with a judge server. Additional objectives include an emergent target, off-axis target, payload drop, and search pattern. The Aerial Robotics Club attempted every objective except automatic target detection and autonomous sense and avoid with great results. The team placed second overall and second in mission performance.
The Aerial Robotics Club will compete at the 2017 AUVSI SUAS competition, with major airframe and software development in the works. It will be an exciting year for ARC!
