Welcome Mathias Jensen to DHFE
New PhD student on the FreeFly project. He develops intelligent navigation and control of ornithopter drones for autonomous inspection of overhead power lines.
The Digital and High-Frequency Electronics Section (DHFE) welcomes Mathias Jensen as a new PhD student on the FreeFly project. Congratulations on your PhD position, Mathias!
“As a PhD student on the FreeFly project I will be working on developing intelligent navigation and control of ornithopter drones for autonomous inspection of overhead power lines. This involves giving the drone a mind of its own, enabling it to make decisions on how to efficiently inspect the power lines. The work will revolve around adaptive flight control and how the ornithopter can learn from its environment to fly more efficiently – just like in nature,” says Mathias Jensen.
The FreeFly project is funded by a Carlsberg Foundation Semper Ardens: Accomplish grant and aims to pioneer new capabilities for autonomous aerial systems operating in challenging environments.
We are delighted to have Mathias on the team and look forward to his contributions to the FreeFly project and to the DHFE research environment.
Welcome to DHFE, Mathias – and congratulations!
