About This workshop
This intensive one-day workshop will immerse participants in the exciting world of autonomous drones. Attendees will gain practical experience programming flight paths, integrating LiDAR and optical sensors, and developing AI models for object detection specific to challenging environments like Utah's unique red rock canyons. We will cover principles of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and obstacle avoidance, culminating in a live demonstration and hands-on deployment exercise with a custom-built drone. This event is perfect for engineers, hobbyists, and researchers looking to expand their skills in robotics, AI, and aerial mapping, providing a solid foundation for future projects in environmental monitoring or search and rescue.
