The summer school, titled «Urban Drone Dynamics: Mastering Civil Delivery, Detection, and Control» aims to address three key questions:

  • How to improve safe and efficient delivery
  • How to enhance accurate location identification and mapping
  • How to refine the control of unmanned aerial vehicles

Delivery safety encompasses both technical aspects – ensuring the drone is capable of flying without posing a risk to people, animals, or property – and legal and ethical considerations, such as defining actions and responsibilities in the event of a failed or incorrect delivery. In terms of mapping, the focus will be on the drone's ability to navigate and position itself in real-time. This involves the drone's capacity to follow its intended route, analyze the terrain, identify potential hazards, and, if necessary, reroute. Another critical aspect is drone control, raising the question of whether human operators are still needed or if automation can fully manage the process. While some companies have already developed fully automated drones, human oversight remains essential in most cases.
