Within the field of robotics and drone technology, we offer three courses which you will find more information about below.
Please check the individual course descriptions for possible prerequisites and note at which campus/location the course is offered.
Applied Composite Drone Manufacturing
This course focuses on the design and manufacturing of fixed-wing drones (FWDs) using fiber-reinforced composite materials (FRCs).
The summer school offers two educational, intense and intriguing weeks where students gain fundamental knowledge and practical experience with FWDs, FRCs, composite design, and manufacturing.
Working together in international and interdisciplinary project teams, students will apply the knowledge and skills to design, build, and test fly their drone. The tasks include aerodynamic- and structural design, material selection, manufacturing planning and execution, simulations, etc.

International Drone Summer School
This course will teach how to construct and fly drones for real-world applications based on computer vision. The students will work in teams of 3-4 students on lab exercises in drone hardware and software, computer vision algorithms, drone operations, and safety. This leads to a mini project where the students construct a multirotor drone and a camera payload, fly the drone outdoors at the nearby national UAS Denmark test center, and then use the computer vision algorithms to post-process the recorded video footage. The students will also get presentations of state-of-the-art drone research and innovation.

Robotics: Fundamentals and Applications
Robots are getting smarter and smarter, and taking over a number of tasks for human beings, and there seems to be almost no end to the utilization of robots as novel robotics applications have been being explored and identified continually. This course will give students an overview of the commercially available robots, their application areas, and the state-of-the-art research activities in global robotics community and SDU MMMI research institute, and help students establish strong connection between robotics theory and applications. To this end, fundamentals in robotics will be introduced in the summer course including Kinematics, Dynamics, Control, i.e., KDC pillar modules in robotics, and more importantly, how these theories can be applied in real cases, which will be integrated into a hands-on mini project. In this mini project, you will have opportunity to work on UR (Universal Robots) robot arms for collision avoidance motion planning and control by using the learnt KDC fundamentals. The fundamentals covered in this summer course are mainly for robot arms, but some of them can be general for other types of robots as well.
