What is Project Lumyn?
Project Lumyn focuses heavily on computer science and its application to aerospace engineering, specifically to the control of drones. It is our mission to expose undergraduate students to interdisciplinary engineering practices to achieve the goal of autonomous drone flight.
We will explore exciting concepts such as real-time systems, sensors, and computer vision to accomplish our mission. The Project Lumyn team has made it their long-term goal to achieve autonomous object tracking, and is working with Python this semester to achieve fundamental drone control.
