Upcoming recorded course · In development
Flight Control & Simulation
Explore feedback, stability, and the adjustments that help a drone respond.
- Recorded · Online
- 4 planned modules
- No drone required
What you’ll learn
Explain feedback control and investigate how parameter changes affect stability.
- Orientation and movement
- Sensor feedback
- Control loops and introductory PID
- Testing and comparing simulated responses
Who this is for
Learners curious about how drones balance and respond.
Before you start
Drone Technology Fundamentals, basic programming, and introductory maths.
Course curriculum
4 proposed modules01Module 1Orientation and movement
Describe drone orientation and movement as the starting point for understanding stabilisation.
02Module 2Sensor feedback
Explore how sensor readings describe the state of a drone and provide feedback to a controller.
03Module 3Control loops and introductory PID
Follow a feedback loop and investigate how introductory PID parameters affect its behaviour.
04Module 4Testing and comparing simulated responses
Tune a simulated stabilisation system and use before-and-after response plots to explain the changes.
A preview of the planned scope. Lesson details will be confirmed as the course is developed.
Put it into practice
Your proposed project
Tune a simulated stabilisation system and present before-and-after response plots.
A piece of work you can explain and demonstrate.
Requirements & resources
- A computer with internet access
- The planned activities use simulation and response plots; a drone is not required
Final software, computer requirements and learning resources will be confirmed before enrolment opens. Fees, duration, release dates, certificates and hardware bundles have not been announced.
