Our projects

Ideas that take flight.

From autonomous drones to solar-powered aircraft, explore the engineering behind ADDI and the competitions that put it to the test.

Project areas

Discover the different ways to get involved in aerial robotics, aircraft development and embedded systems.

Robotics & autonomy

Computer vision, flight control and simulation come together in our work on drones that navigate and complete missions autonomously.

Aircraft & energy

Lightweight aircraft construction, solar power and custom electronics support the goal of extending flight on energy from the sun.

Embedded systems

Learn how a flight controller works, then experiment with microcontrollers, sensors, control algorithms and your own hardware.

Built, tested, learned

Aircraft specifications, project briefs, competition reports and the lessons we carry into the next design.

Electric aircraft designed for an annually changing set of flight and ground missions in AIAA's international student competition.

Autonomous aerial robotics, with indoor and outdoor missions that combine perception, navigation and flight control.

Student teams design aircraft to combine payload capacity, efficiency and speed. After winning in 2022, ADDI hosted the 2024 event in Aachen.

Our project history also includes these areas of aerial robotics and experimentation. Get in touch to ask about them.
