An indoor flight arena for autonomous aerial systems — perceive, plan and fly, safely.
The Drone Lab is a netted indoor arena with precision motion tracking, where students develop autonomous flight — from single-drone navigation to coordinated swarms.
It pairs with the Robotics Lab for field trials and outdoor autonomy.
Operated by the School of Robotics.
Coordinated multi-drone flight.
Vision-only navigation indoors.
Autonomous inspection routines.
For Robotics students and faculty; open to cross-school aerial projects. All flights are booked and require a completed safety briefing.
All flight happens inside full netting with hardware kill switches and spotters. Batteries are stored and charged in fireproof enclosures.
