The tethered flight project is very diverse and had to be worked out
from scratch because there were no interim results from the previous
semesters. This situation offers many design options, but is also a
challenge due to the many tasks and small group size. Since the
areas of mechanics, electrical engineering and computer science are
part of the work, there is the opportunity to gain experience in all
disciplines and at their interfaces. In addition, the production of
the 3D printed parts can be used to gain deeper knowledge of this
manufacturing technology.
This project allowed us to learn
about technical aspects of systems such as energy efficiency. By
creating a first functional system to control the length of the rope
and then developing a second system to continuously power the drone,
we were able to develop our knowledge in many areas of mechatronics.
In summary, it can be said that the
project is a good opportunity to further develop your own knowledge
in the university environment and to work in an international
project group. |
