This course introduces the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in the operation and control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Students will explore machine learning, computer vision, and reinforcement learning algorithms tailored for UAV autonomy, including object detection, path planning, decision-making, and collision avoidance. The course emphasizes the integration of AI with UAV sensors, actuators, and navigation systems to enable autonomous missions in complex and dynamic environments. Through hands-on projects, students will develop AI-driven solutions to enhance UAV performance in tasks such as autonomous flight, object tracking, and environmental monitoring.
