Drone Club

On August 2, 2024, the Drone Club was officially launched as an initiative by the Department of Robotics and Automation at Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology. This initiative is led by Prof. Sreedeep Krishnan, with active involvement from a group of drone-enthusiastic students from the same department. The Drone Club aims to foster creativity, technical skills, and collaboration among students interested in UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technologies.

Objectives

  • Promoting drone literacy through workshops and technical sessions.
  • Facilitating hands-on experience in drone construction, programming, and piloting.
  • Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration for drone-related projects.
  • Organising competitions, hackathons, and exhibitions to showcase student projects.
  • Fostering research initiatives with potential applications in agriculture, surveillance, and logistics

Key Activities

  • Workshops and Training: Organizing sessions on drone assembly, coding, and flight control techniques.
  • Competitions: Preparing students to participate in regional and national drone challenges.
  • Industry Interactions: Inviting experts for guest lectures on emerging trends and regulations in UAVs.
  • Project Development: Promoting student-led projects focusing on innovative drone applications.

Expected Outcome

  • Skill Development: Enhanced technical and problem-solving abilities among students.
  • Increased Participation: Active involvement in drone competitions and exhibitions.
  • Research Opportunities: Collaboration on research projects integrating UAVs and automation.
  • Community Engagement: Deployment of drones for social good, including environmental monitoring and disaster response.

The Drone Club looks forward to becoming a center for excellence in UAV technology at Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology, inspiring future engineers to lead innovations in the rapidly evolving field of drones.
