Field testing is a crucial part of drone development: Fenswood Farm, provides ample airspace for putting our drones through their paces. Check out this video here of a glider test: #FieldTesting #DroneFlights #ResearchFacilities youtu.be/AYuwqPuxZHo?si=9FwR…

The future of urban air mobility is taking shape at the Lab! Our team, led by Prof. Arthur Richards, is developing routing systems for safe drone vertiports #UrbanAirMobility #FutureOfTransportation #DroneTrafficManagement See our full article here: bit.ly/vertiport

We're part of the EU-funded WildDrone project, an international training network for wildlife conservation. Our doctoral students are using autonomous drones to monitor wildlife #WildlifeConservation #DronesThatMakeADifference #InternationalCollab youtu.be/wtazZefKCYI

At the Flight Lab, we have access to world-class facilities, including the university's advanced wind tunnels at our disposal, we can conduct thorough aerodynamic testing of novel aircraft designs. #DroneEngineering #AerodynamicsTesting #CuttingEdgeFacilities

At the Lab, we've collaborated with volcanologists to develop drones that can sample ash in Papua New Guinea. This is helping scientists better predict eruptions and save lives. #DroneScience #VolcanoResearch #InnovationForGood youtu.be/Q1iRnvUUhAo

Our PhD student, Haichuan Li, recently came 1st in the poster competition at #ICRA2024 for their work on Adaptive Perching Mechanism for Environmental  Monitoring with Aerial Robots. Check out the video of our workshop to find out more: youtube.com/watch?v=DhUhpReK… #ICRA2024 #prize

IMAV 2024 is coming to University of Bristol on 16th - 20th September *deadline for registration tomorrow* 2024.imavs.org/ Join us to hear about our WildDrone project and much more.... #IMAV2024 #CONFERENCE #uav youtu.be/wtazZefKCYI

The Bristol Flight Lab is the University of Bristol’s centre for multi-disciplinary aerial robotics research. This collaboration of five academic staff brings together over 40 researchers, students and support staff in the theme of aerial robotics. flight-lab.bristol.ac.uk/

Continuing with our fixed-wing #aiaaSciTech theme, @BenSchellenberg presents a #UAS navigation algorithm to aid with robustly intercepting volcanic plumes for direct measurements. doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-0811. youtube.com/watch?v=gqoIEjKQ…

Tom David is presenting the initial results from a new in-house VTOL drone as part of the @CascadeUav programme. See the video including vertical transition youtu.be/VigFeVkJMsk, or paper doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-1930, or join the #aiaaSciTech session Jan 21 AFM-20 10am EST.
