Unmanned Aerial Vehicles


IRL Technoxian Quadcopter Challenge, World Robotics Championship, by International Robotics Council (IRC), 2017

We built an indigeneous Light-Weight Sandwich Composite Multirotor System. As the Avionics Technician on the project, I was responsible for designing, integrating and testing the quadcopter's propulsion system and tuning the Naze flight controller. Report

UAS Lazarus

Journal Paper (Team UAS-DTU)

Developed a customized Ardupilot firmware algorithm to capture the off-axis target using 2-axis gimbal stabilization for Lazarus. Did extensive flight testing of this feature for the AUVSI-SUAS competition.
