Calling all young innovators and aero modelling enthusiasts! Elevate your skills and let your ideas take flight with Skyward Expedition, your chance to showcase your ability to innovate in the developing domain of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Sponsored by Boeing and organized by IEEE NITK, this platform lays out the opportunity to showcase your engineering acumen, learn and compete for prizes worth ₹40,000.
Register today and reach new heights!
UAVs have demonstrated their utility in disaster relief situations, easily navigating challenging terrains that are inaccessible by humans. Delivery of essential supplies to these inaccessible areas is one major application of UAVs.
You are tasked with designing a deployment system that is capable of wirelessly delivering payloads from a height while attached to the UAV. The design must be capable of fitting onto a wide variety of UAV platforms while retaining its lifting capacity and possessing the ability to make multiple drops in a single run.
