Aerobot Technologies is UiA's student organization for drone building and autonomous aerial technology.
We are students at the University of Agder who design, build, and develop drones from scratch — spanning mechanics, software, AI, economics, and marketing.
Aerobot Technologies is an interdisciplinary student organization at UiA. Engineers, software developers, AI enthusiasts, economists, marketers, and renewable energy students work side by side to build autonomous drones.
We will compete in international drone competitions and collaborate with industry and academia. With us, you gain hands-on experience you won't find in a classroom.
The organization was founded in May 2026 and is already one of the most exciting technology projects on the Grimstad campus.
Apply for MembershipWe design and build drones from the ground up — from mechanics and electronics to firmware and control systems.
We develop autonomous flight control using ArduPilot and PX4, including GPS navigation and obstacle detection.
We will compete in international competitions such as Student AirRace, SUAS, and UAS Challenge — working toward competing against the world's best student teams.
Embedded systems, CAN-bus, telemetry, and real-time control — we work on hardware-close software development across disciplines.
We use AI and machine learning for image analysis, object detection, and decision-making in autonomous drones.
The marketing team builds Aerobot's brand, manages social media, and communicates with the outside world and potential sponsors.
The finance team manages budgets, sponsorship agreements, and partnerships — a vital part of running a professional student organization.
We are students from many different fields — electronics, mechatronics, renewable energy, economics, marketing, and more. There is room for everyone who wants to contribute.
— Management —
Aerobot Technologies is a newly founded student organization with big ambitions — and we need support to reach them.
