Contact Infrastructure Provider

Summary

Description

The University of Córdoba features an infrastructure dedicated to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations, which includes various flight platforms, sensors, and data storage systems. This infrastructure provides tools for developing validations or testing artificial intelligence and robotics solutions in the agri-food sector.

UAV Flight Platforms

  • DJI Matrice 350 RTK Multirotor: 45-minute flight autonomy per battery set. Currently, there are a total of 5 battery sets available. It features vertical takeoff and landing, and automatic flight following a pre-calculated flight plan.
  • DJI Matrice 600-Pro Hexacopter Multirotor: 30-minute flight autonomy. It has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, and automatic flight according to a previously calculated flight plan. Includes a professional Ronin-MX gimbal.
  • DJI Mavic 2 Quadcopter Multirotor: Up to 120 minutes of flight capability. It offers vertical takeoff and landing, as well as automatic flight based on a pre-established flight plan.
  • E-300 Plane: Up to three hours of flight autonomy. It is launched via catapult and performs automatic landing. Equipped with a dual-frequency GNSS sensor navigation system.
  • DJI Mavic 3E: Multirotor: Up to 120 minutes of flight capability. It offers vertical takeoff and landing, as well as automatic flight based on a pre-established flight plan.
