Hand on Workshop: Drone Technology and GNSS
7th - 8th November 2025
E-Yantrae LSI Lab, in collaboration with the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram, organized a two-day workshop on “Understanding Drone Technology and GNSS Applications in Drones” on 7th and 8th November 2025. The workshop was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Neha Mathur, Faculty Coordinator, and featured resource persons — Mr. Omjee, Ms. Khushboo, Mr. Dilip Kumar, Mr. Divyanshu, and Mr.ArunYadav — from B.Tech (ECE), who had gained hands-on experience through internships at Delhi Technological University (DTU) and IIT Delhi.
The initiative aimed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Drone Technology and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications, focusing on bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation.
The two-day program provided students with an engaging mix of lectures and hands-on sessions. On the first day, participants explored the basics of drone technology, including its components, flight control principles, and the role of GNSS in navigation, along with demonstrations on signal generation and modulation using SCILab.
The second day focused on practical drone assembly, BLDC motor and ESC connections and understanding the integration of GNSS in real-world drone applications. The sessions encouraged interaction, teamwork, and peer learning, allowing students to apply technical knowledge in a practical environment.
Workshop achieved its primary objective of familiarizing students with the core principles of UAV systems and highlighting the technological advancements that make drones an essential part of modern industries. It also inspired participants to explore innovation in fields like aerial mapping, precision agriculture, and autonomous navigation, demonstrating the transformative potential of drone technology in solving real-world challenges.
In conclusion, the e-Yantrae LSI Lab workshop on “Understanding Drone Technology and GNSS Applications in Drones” was a resounding success. It not only enriched students’ technical knowledge but also fostered curiosity, confidence, and a spirit of collaboration. The program effectively motivated young engineers to pursue further research, projects, and internships in Drone and GNSS technologies, paving the way for future advancements in unmanned aerial systems.
