Highly-Manufacturable Drones

Working in Greg Falco's ADVERSARY lab to develop a highly robust, manufacturable drone for use in the MAGPIE project. These drones will be used as a testbed for MARL-based policies for evasive behavior. Results from these tests will be extrapolated to satellites to enable autonomous evasive maneuvers in space.

We are also using these drones to create a hardware fault detection system. Drone development is only increasing, and we feel that the hardware development cycle of a drone can be reduced with with some system which can identify hardware issues or inefficiencies during test flights. This should help reduce the time to operation for drones.
