During the event, they presented their autonomous drones in practice, from the technical background and software solutions to the flight demonstrations themselves. The drones were able to operate without direct pilot control and perform predefined scenarios, responding to the surrounding environment and obstacles.
The program also included training for competition tasks, during which students fine-tuned navigation accuracy, flight stability, and data processing speed. The entire event was not only a demonstration of technology, but also preparation for the international competition.
The event was also covered by the media.
