COVID-19 does not stop engineering students 3: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle transport an Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Engineering students in ENR 259 designed, built, and piloted a small
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to transport an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
through a series of obstacles to perform a rescue mission, and navigate the UAV
back to the initial starting point.
The project required the UAV’s to maneuver around and through
obstacles, and change altitude and carry/deposit the UGV to the proper drop
zone, then navigate back to the start. The UGV had to detach from the UAV using
an autonomous onboard detachment mechanism, and autonomously drive to a
different location after delivery.
Please see mission video (team narrated) posted on

If you would like to learn more about their projects, please visit to the
scholars' day event on May 17-19. These students will be presenting these
projects again.
