Savonia's Teaching, Research and Development Activities on Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Abstract

In this article, we have presented the teaching, research, and development-related activities on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) carried out at the Savonia University of Applied Sciences. We aim to demonstrate a few applications such as snow-depth measurement, mapping of gas leaks and operation of bio-waste composting pits, and the feasibility study for installing bird warning balls on the power grids. Also, we have highlighted the major ongoing UAS project activities, education, and future directions.
