This course helped me appreciate drone technology much more. I interacted with users of drones from all around the world and was fascinated by the amount of work people have put in using drones for aerial mapping, cargo delivery and many robotic applications for the benefit of humanity.
Harvard Professor
United States of America
The course was well worth my time. It provided a great opportunity to learn about modern UAV system design and operation; UAVs are much more than R/C aircraft and deserve special consideration. Considerable time was allocated each day to flying aircraft on the simulator and flying a small UAV on site.

So smart and intense the UAV Remote Sensing Application 1-week session, exploring the whole innovative UAV channel from the flight and imagery acquisition to various applications. The BCN team (and speakers) is very professional and enthusiastic, and their Catalunya green site is really inspiring.
