The Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group (WARG) is a team of students whose mission is to design and build autonomous aircraft with surveillance capabilities for the Unmanned Systems Canada Competition. The competition entails locating the position and/or volume of ground targets with accuracy. Thus, our aircraft must be capable of tasks such as flight stabilization, navigation, and visual recognition, amongst others.
There are a wide range of tasks the team completes, appealing to all branches of engineering, computer science, and other fields. There are mechanical opportunities such as wing and camera gimbal design; software opportunities include image processing and flight control software; electrical opportunities such as autopilot board design; and business opportunities are wide with opportunities in media, sponsorships, and finance.
So if designing autonomous aircraft interests you, check out our website ece.uwaterloo.ca/~war and find us on Facebook for more information about joining the team.
