About RAVEN
How do we develop autonomous systems that can meet future needs in areas such as transport, logistics, and production?
In DTU’s Blue Dot project RAVEN (Robotics, Autonomous Vehicle Engineering & Navigation), students work on developing advanced unmanned and autonomous systems, with a particular focus on drone technology.
The project combines mechanics, electronics, software, and artificial intelligence, transforming theoretical knowledge into concrete, functional solutions.
As part of the project, the RAVEN team builds and tests a fully integrated drone equipped with sensors, communication systems, and software for perception, planning, and control. The team competes in the international Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) Competition, where university teams from around the world develop drones capable of solving complex real-world tasks.
The project is part of DTU’s Blue Dot initiatives, where students work hands-on with innovation and solve real-world challenges..
Who can join?
RAVEN is open to all DTU students - whether your interests lie in robotics, programming, mechanical design, or project management.
You can participate through specialized courses or by integrating the project into your Bachelor’s project or Master’s thesis.
What will you gain??
The RAVEN project gives you the opportunity to turn theoretical knowledge into concrete, innovative solutions.
Through the project, you will build competencies in:
- Autonomous systems and artificial intelligence
- Robotics and mechanical design
- Software development and system integration
- Engineering problem-solving and decision-making
- Project management and interdisciplinary collaboration
