Presentation
The UAV team started their first researches in 1998 and is now composed of five researchers and teachers, an engineer and several PhD students. The objective of the research group is the development and control of autonomous aerial vehicles or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The team is mainly interested in designing, modelling and controlling mini-helicopters such as multi-rotors. Studies are also devoted to convertible drones capable of vertical take-off and landing as VTOL vehicles and forward flight like planes. The works include technological supports and developments for the design of embedded architectures.
