*****Assignment #1*****
In his lab at Penn, Vijay Kumar and his team build flying quadrotors, small, agile robots that swarm, sense each other, and form ad hoc teams—for construction, surveying disasters, and far more” (TED, 2012).
This video provides an excellent description of how small quadrotor Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) fly and maneuver. In addition, it describes several applications for small UAVs and the way nature contributed to the development of swarming UAV formations. It also shows a comparison of large military UAVs and small agile UAVs that can be purchased off the shelf.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will watch the YouTube video and then write a 2-3 page essay (not including the Title and Reference pages) answering the Short Answer Questions and Activity Essay questions. A writing assignment student example is provided below for you to use.

Short Answer Questions
Provide a few examples of aerial robotic applications.
Describe how a quad UAV operates (roll, pitch, climb, etc.).
Describe what element in nature is the example used to develop multiple UAV swarming formations.
Please proceed to the Activity Essay section.
Activity Essay
Different robotic Uncrewed Aircraft Systems elements are shown and described in this video. What do you think is the most important element (algorithms, sensors, payload delivery, size, onboard control, etc.) of these systems? Justify your selection in one to two paragraphs (minimum 200 words).
******Assignment 2*****
In this activity, you will research and discuss a particular remote sensing application with uncrewed systems (precision agriculture, search-and-rescue, firefighting, mapping, etc.). Ideally, the resource referenced will be no more than 12 months old and will be from a peer-reviewed journal. For assistance finding a peer-reviewed resource, watch How to Find Print and Online Journals (1:57/Vimeo).Links to an external site Please address the prompts below about both the platform and the sensor, and include any additional information you found interesting or insightful:
Platform Describe the uncrewed system platform.
Describe the operational requirements for the platform to facilitate this mission.
Describe any operational limitations or considerations (wind, altitude, sea states, speed ranges, etc.), and if any alternative uncrewed systems could serve as an effective platform for this sensing mission.
Describe how this mission is better facilitated by an uncrewed system over traditional methods (crewed aircraft, crane, climbers, satellites, etc.).
Sensor Describe the sensor used and performance specifications (range, field-of-view, spectrum, etc.).
Describe the data the sensor provides and how the data is processed and evaluated.
Describe any operational limitations one should consider for this sensor type for this mission.
Select a different sensor type and consider if this alternate sensor could also perform the same mission effectively or what alternative operational limitations might be encountered.
It is recommended that you make your original post no later than the fourth day of the module week. In addition, reply to two of your classmates’ posts. Consider their response and add your thoughts on the abilities of their discussed UAS to complete the tasks that they have described. Are there other operational parameters they might have considered? Are there other capabilities/limitations that you would consider?
