Course Outline:

Level 1 and Level 2 are both 5 day courses structured and designed to firstly be dynamically updated based on industry evolution and expected levels of competent skills and practical real-world capabilities for building, modifying and designing robotic vehicles, with focus on drones, UAV, UAS, AI/ML, swarming, hardware, software and latest sensors.

​

No prior knowledge of robotics or UAV’s, everything you need to establish your foundational skills for building, modifying, Ai robotics, drone flight planning, security, hack, detect forensically and defend.

​​

This is a hands-on practical course, straight to the point, you are guaranteed to leave this class with the skills needed to deal with all types of AI robotics, drones and autonomous vehicles.

​

We will utilize in this course:

1: A pre-built mobile hardware system such as a Raspberry Pi or a laptop.

2: Live Cloud based remote lab range and electronic interactive content

​

Note: Optional, use your own hardware as we will provide a link to the images for the custom OS systems we use on the Raspberry Pi's. 

​
