Congratulations to the team!

Team Aerial Robotics has proudly secured 3rd place globally and earned an invitation to the final stage of the International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS) 2025, taking place from May 14 to 17 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. Notably, they are the only Indian team to advance to this stage.

A student-led initiative, the team is at the forefront of advancing autonomous aerial vehicles through prestigious global competitions such as IMAV and IARC. Committed to open-source innovation and real-world UAV applications, the team represents both their institution and their country with immense pride on international platforms.

The challenge involved coordinating a swarm of five drones to optimize marker identification while ensuring constant communication and maintaining line-of-sight.

The team extends its heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Ketan Rajawat for his unwavering support and guidance, as well as to all past and present team members who contributed to this remarkable achievement.
