National Institute of Technology Andhra Pradesh is working to nurture globally-competent core engineers through quality education, research and innovation and develop cutting edge technologies in the areas of Drone Technology. 

Towards this, the Institute organized two days skill development workshop on ‘Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)’ between 05th and 06th March 2022 in collaboration with TiTHAN (Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation), IIT Hyderabad and OptimusLogic.

During the workshop, Prof. C.S.P. Rao addressed the importance of hands-on skill development programmes in prototype development and fabrication. He thanked TiTHAN, IIT Hyderabad and Optimus Logic for the two-day workshop at NIT Andhra Pradesh. He mentioned that the institute is looking forward to conducting more collaborative programs with other reputed Institutes and industry partners.

The Top Outcomes envisaged from this two-day Training include:

• Awareness of current and emerging Drone Technology for various applications   
• Enhance the skillset and identify opportunities with Drone technology   
• Design, Integrate, Calibrate and Testing Drone prototype models 
• Troubleshooting in Drone Technology  
• Drone architecture model through 3D Printing 
• Prototype demonstration and hands-on experience

The Programme was jointly organised by TiTHAN, IIT Hyderabad, and OptimusLogic in collaboration with the Department of Electrical Engineering, E- Yantra Club, IEEE Student Branch and Centre for Research Innovation Incubation and Consultancy (CRIIC) at NIT Andhra Pradesh.
