Competition Details:

Get an introduction to Model-Based Design while challenging your peers. You will design a line follower algorithm using Simulink and learn how to model, simulate, and fly a Minidrone.

  • Competition Audience: Industry and academia worldwide
  • Team strength: 2-4 members including team captain

Teams will be provided with Complimentary MathWorks Software to work on the problem statement.

Round 1| Simulation 
Develop path planning, image processing, and control systems for a Minidrone line follower in simulations


Round 2| Deployment 
Deploy algorithms designed during the simulation round to a Parrot Mambo Minidrone provided to the teams by the organizers on the final event day. 
 

Get Ready to Fly:

  1. Apply to receive all the competition materials.
  2. Watch the MathWorks Minidrone Competition Video Series to better understand the competition details.
  3. Review the competition rules and guidelines.
  4. Complete MATLAB Onramp, Simulink Onramp, and Stateflow Onramp courses before starting to work on your algorithm.
