Unlocking the Skies: Recap of Aerise’s Hula Drone Programming Course
On September 25, 2024, Aerise successfully hosted an engaging Hula Drone Programming course for students and lecturers at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP). This hands-on workshop provided a unique opportunity to explore drone technology, offering participants valuable skills in both programming and artificial intelligence.
Course Highlights
Lesson 1: Introduction and Basic Scratch Programming of Hula
The course began with an introduction to the fundamentals of Scratch programming, tailored specifically for the Hula drones. Participants learned how to navigate the Scratch interface and apply basic coding concepts to create simple programs that controlled their drones. This session provided a solid foundation for beginners to get comfortable with the basics of drone programming.
Lesson 2: Introduction to AI Functions of Hula
In the second session, participants explored the AI functions integrated into the Hula drones. They learned how artificial intelligence enhances drone navigation and obstacle avoidance. Practical exercises helped attendees program their drones to respond intelligently to different scenarios, showcasing real-time applications of AI in drone technology.
Lesson 3: Introduction to Hula Recognition Software
The third lesson introduced participants to Hula recognition software, followed by an opportunity to test their skills on a custom drone course designed by Aerise. Students were tasked with programming their drones to autonomously navigate the course, utilizing the recognition software to identify and interact with various elements along the way. This hands-on experience allowed participants to apply their programming knowledge in a dynamic, real-world scenario, demonstrating how recognition technology can elevate drone operations.
Lesson 4: Introduction to Hula Swarming Usage
The final lesson focused on Hula swarming technology. Participants experimented with synchronizing movements using either two Hula drones or a combination of one Hula drone and one Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). They learned the principles behind drone swarming and engaged in activities that showcased how drones and ground vehicles can collaborate for coordinated operations.
Engaging Interactions
Throughout the day, the collaborative atmosphere encouraged teamwork and allowed participants to share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and develop solutions together. This hands-on learning environment fostered creativity and problem-solving among all attendees.
