MINDS-i Drones
There's a shortage of students interested in STEM careers. By 2022, there will be 9 million STEM-related jobs in the U.S. but not enough skilled students in the pipeline. MINDS-i Robotics engaged students in an energizing STEM learning environment with easy to build, program, and modify robots. Technologically advanced rovers and drones perform impressive real-world tasks that build excitement for STEM careers.

Flying Drones
UAVS (Unmanned Air Vehicles)
Powerful Rovers UGVS (Unmanned Ground Vehicles)
Stabilizes the drone autonomously in calm and windy conditions while also responding to the pilot’s commands.
Gryo-Accelerometer
Sends and receives real-time data between the rover and computer to enable autonomous self-driving, including visual location, orientation, and movement tracking.
Remote Telemetry
Drives and navigates autonomously through real-time geographical coordinate data received from GPS satellites to determine the robots’ location, destination, path, and speed.
GPS
Enables rovers to autonomously maintain their speed while climbing hills and overcoming challenging terrains.
Encoder Cruise Control
Allows rovers to jump, bounce, and climb in treacherous outdoor terrain and extreme weather conditions.
Suspension Technology
Enables pilots to autonomously hover their drone at a selected flying altitude while controlling the rate of climb and descent.
Altimeter Barometer
Uses ultrasonic sound waves to trigger autonomous course corrections when objects are detected in the rover’s path.
Ultrasound Sensors
