What you will work on




– Precision landing — perception and control for landing the vehicle accurately on a target, including optimising existing code so it runs within the constraints of the onboard computer.
– Flight controls — implementing and tuning control loops, diagnosing instability, and validating behaviour in simulation and on hardware.
– Path planning and optimization — implementing planning and optimization algorithms, and reasoning about cost functions rather than only calling library functions.
– Flight controllers and sensors — working directly with ArduPilot-based systems, configuring vehicles, and dealing with real sensor behaviour: IMU, GPS, rangefinder, camera.
– Linux and toolchain — building, debugging and running your code on Linux, including on the target hardware rather than only on your laptop.

What we require
– Robust C and C++. You have written substantial code in these languages yourself a
