Aero Research under Dr. Ran Dai

Fall ‘23 - Spring ‘24:

Part of a larger team working to automate in-air drone docking, charging, and redeployment. My direct contributions will be the docking platform, power delivery system, and integration of the microcontrollers onto each drone. Currently the project is under wraps so no images can be shared at this time.

The docking system is a magnetic, funnel shaped component mounted below the smaller drone to be charged, with the receiving and opposite end on the top surface of the larger drone. Power is provided to the drone via magnetic connectors and a full size charger onboard the larger drone.
