Program Overview

Bridging the gap between academic theory and aerospace engineering principles.

Our workshop is carefully curated for engineering and technology students across Business Development, Software, Machine Learning, and Electronics backgrounds. It transitions participants from manual RC hobbyist concepts into fully integrated, autonomous deep-tech aviation platforms.

Target audience includes students with backgrounds in Business Development, Software, Machine Learning, and Electronics.

Through team-based assembly, calibration, and simulated flights, students will gain firsthand aerospace experience, under rigorous compliance standards.

Day-by-Day Roadmap

Aerodynamics, Physics, & Core Software Architecture

Focus: Understanding how a drone thinks and stays in the air.
2.5 Hours
Session 1 (45 Mins)

Introduction to the UAV Ecosystem

Understanding the technological shift from fragmented, manual RC setups to fully integrated, autonomous deep-tech aviation platforms. Introduction to core compliance pathways under the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) and air traffic integration frameworks.

Session 2 (45 Mins)

The Physics of Flight & Rotational Dynamics

Forces in Play: Deep dive into how a quadcopter/hexacopter manages the core balance of forces:

$$\text{Thrust} = \text{Weight} \quad \text{and} \quad \text{Lift} \ge \text{Gravity}$$
Torque & Yaw Control: Learn how varying the relative RPM of counter-rotating brushless motors creates angular momentum shifts to execute Roll, Pitch, and Yaw maneuvers.

Session 3 (30 Mins)

Introduction to Embedded Software & Simulation Architecture

Exploring how sensor arrays (IMUs, Gyroscopes, Accelerometers, and Barometers) feed data back into flight control processors in real time. Introduction to simulation-based predictive testing environments (Unity-based C# dynamics engines) used to validate safe flight behaviors before real-world component assembly.

Avionics, Powertrain, & Team-Based System Component Integration

Focus: Deconstructing hardware components and building systemic engineering synchronization.
3 Hours
Session 1 (60 Mins)

Powertrain & Core Avionics Anatomy

  • Brushless DC Motors (BLDC): KV ratings, stator configurations, and thrust-to-weight optimization formulas.
  • Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs): How current modulation dictates RPM changes based on PWM signals from the flight controller.
  • Power Distribution Boards (PDBs): Managing voltage fluctuations and avoiding catastrophic system shorts under high current draws.

Session 2 (60 Mins)

Machine Learning, Cloud Integration, & Automated Mission Infrastructure

  • UTMS Architecture: Unmanned Traffic Management Systems used to program, monitor, and coordinate multi-drone flight routes while handling automatic perimeter geofencing.
  • DCIS Engine ("AI Pavanputra"): How edge computing and localized neural networks process live sensor telemetry for dynamic obstacle navigation, environmental threat assessment, and payload deployment safety protocols.

Session 3 (60 Mins)

Team Formations & Engineering Lab Protocols

Splitting participants into cross-functional teams modeling real-world aerospace operations:

  • Avionics/Hardware Leads: Managing physical electrical continuity, motor orientation, and mechanical frame balances.
  • Systems/Software Leads: Managing communications protocols, calibration matrices, and automated command logic.

System Assembly, Calibration, & Flight Mission Planning

Focus: Bringing the hardware to life, executing system testing, and launching an automated simulation mission.
3 Hours
Session 1 (75 Mins)

Step-by-Step Hardware Integration

Mechanical framing structure assembly and motor configuration setups (X-Configuration vs. Plus-Configuration vectors). Wiring telemetry transceivers, receiver modules, GPS coordinate lock arrays, and integrating primary battery redundancy systems.

Session 2 (45 Mins)

Bench Testing, Failsafe Calibrations, & Safety Auditing

Executing IMU and compass calibrations to establish a clean baseline. Programming absolute safety override protocols: Return-To-Launch (RTL) triggers, signal loss automated behavior, low-battery voltage auto-landing warnings, and electronic fencing locks.

Session 3 (60 Mins)

Mission Planning, Telemetry Link, & Virtual Flight Execution

Participants open the UTMS portal interface to program a fully automated commercial middle-mile waypoint mission. Designing a scheduled grid path, factoring in obstacle coordinate buffers, wind resistance models, and virtual payload drops. Live tracking execution via the control terminal to observe how hardware configurations adapt dynamically to remote commands.

Drone Workshop Compliance & Safety Mandates

To ensure absolute safety, the workshop maintains an unyielding focus on professional standard operating procedures (SOPs). Compliance with these directives is mandatory for all participants:

Propeller Safety Lock

Absolutely no propellers are to be mounted to any drone inside the lab environment during the assembly, wiring, or battery testing stages. All initial motor rotation verifications must be done visually via tape tags on the motor stators.

LiPo Battery Protocol

Lithium Polymer batteries must be stored, charged, and discharged strictly inside certified fireproof explosion guards/bags. Damaged or puffed cells must be immediately flagged to lab mentors.

Institutional Accountability

All student interns must maintain a signed Institutional No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their respective college departments, certifying that this training program directly completes official academic technical development guidelines.

Workshop Outcomes & Credentials

Upon finishing Day 3, teams will submit their final mission telemetry reports for review. Successfully completing all tasks unlocks the BeRAM Workshop Certificate, proficiency across:

Autonomous Flight Planning & Telemetry

Configuring telemetry links, waypoint planning, and coordinate lock protocols.

Avionics Assembly & ESC Synchronization

Synchronizing Electronic Speed Controllers, motor vector math, and framing continuity.

Mission Planner Usibility

Understanding Mission Planner portals, perimeter geofencing, and air control integration.

Safety Auditing & Emergency Failsafes

Auditing system health and configuring RTL, voltage failsafes, and signal loss procedures.
