BMSCE IEEE PES & Sensors Council, in collaboration with BMSCE IEEE Student Branch, on account of PES Day 2025, will present
Wings of Code: Simulating UAVs with MATLAB
A Beginner-Friendly Hands-on Workshop

Date: 24th April 2025
Duration: 3 Hours
Hardware Requirements: None

This beginner-level hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and their simulation using MATLAB. The session will be divided into three interactive parts:

Part 1: Understanding UAVs (45 min – 1 hour)

  • Introduction to UAVs: Definitions, classifications, fixed-wing vs. rotary-wing.

  • Key Components: Flight controller, IMU, GPS, communication systems, propulsion.

  • Applications: Surveillance, disaster management, delivery systems, military use.

  • Basics of Drone Path Planning: Importance, types, and a brief overview of algorithms like A*, Dijkstra, and RRT.

  • MATLAB for UAVs: Overview of the UAV toolbox and its applications in flight path analysis.

Part 2: MATLAB Hands-on – Drone Path Simulation (1 – 1.5 hours)

  • Waypoint Navigation: Defining 2D/3D coordinates and trajectory plotting.

  • Constraints: Altitude, speed limits, no-fly zones, and dynamic path changes.

  • Advanced Algorithms: Implementing optimal pathfinding and obstacle avoidance simulations.

Part 3: Q&A and the Future of UAVs (20 – 30 min)

  • Career Opportunities in UAV Technology.

  • Open discussion and interactive query session.
