In 2024, "low-altitude economy" was included in the government work report for the first time, and in 2025, the Ministry of Education officially approved the establishment of "Low Altitude Technology and Engineering" For undergraduate majors, six universities including Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, South China University of Technology and Northwestern Polytechnical University welcomed their first enrollment. This new engineering direction, which is deeply integrated with intelligent aircraft, aviation equipment, and AI algorithms, is entering the higher education system at an unprecedented speed. The wind of low-altitude economy has blown to campus. Is your flying laboratory ready?

AMOVLAB combines many years of experience in unmanned system research and development and educational services to launch "UAV Laboratory Construction Plan",by"Step-by-step training, full-link coverage, industry-university-research integration"As the core, we have created a set tailor-made for colleges and universities."Implementable and sustainable"Construction template.

01 From "able to fly" to "able to study"

In the past, UAV teaching mostly stayed at theoretical research and simple operations. Students can fly but cannot develop, can execute instructions but find it difficult to innovate, and lack engineering implementation and system development practice. AMOVLAB's solution breaks this limitation. It designs a step-by-step growth route: from basic tool chain learning (Ubuntu, ROS2, PX4 environment construction), to single-machine autonomous control (takeoff and landing, hovering, waypoint flight); then to high-level function development (visual localization, laser obstacle avoidance, pod tracking); and finally to cluster intelligence and industry applications (multi-UAV collaboration, air-ground coordination, inspection and search). This kind of training system allows students to step by step from being able to fly to being able to research, and have the ability to transform laboratory research into papers, competition results and even industrial projects, and truly grow into innovative talents that promote the development of low-altitude economy.

How to get started?

This plan focuses on the core needs of teaching and scientific research in universities and systematically plans four core modules: experimental equipment, curriculum construction, teaching assistance, and solutions;Help universities create a systematic experimental platform that integrates teaching, practical training, and scientific research. Realize the transition of students' ability from "being able to fly" to "being able to study".

02 How to choose hardware?

The quality of a laboratory depends on Whether it can support research at different stages.AMOVLAB's solutions cover UAV products required at all stages from basic teaching, advanced training to advanced scientific research, and provide supporting software and hardware to truly realize One-stop purchasing, fully adapted to indoor and outdoor multi-scenario applications, not only supports daily teaching and competition training, but also can carry complex algorithm verification and scientific research project implementation.

The scheme divides UAV hardware into Basic, advanced and advanced models: From entry-level aircraft that support flight operations and basic development, to advanced platforms with independent intelligence capabilities, to scientific research-grade UAVs equipped with sensors such as LiDAR and vision cameras, students can gradually expand their learning depth. It is also equipped with UWB localization system, motion capture system, simulation platform, etc.Let the laboratory not only support classroom teaching, but also carry cutting-edge scientific research.

03 Ladder course design

Focusing on the training goal of "from zero foundation to scientific research innovation", AMOVLAB has built a complete stepped curriculum system covering primary entry, intermediate training, and advanced scientific research. The courses can not only match the learning needs of junior college, undergraduate, and postgraduate students at different stages, but also be based on the teaching focus and scientific research direction of each university.Flexible customization, seamlessly connects with special courses, research projects, and competition projects to achieve true "on-demand construction and precise matching."
1. Elementary course
Covers basic knowledge such as Ubuntu system, ROS development and UAV software and hardware framework, helping students lay a solid foundation for application development and system integration.
2. Intermediate courses
Focusing on PX4flight controller and Gazebo simulation, remote control flight and mission planning, MAVROS and Prometheus control development, students can master system debugging and custom development, and transition from theoretical learning to practical development.
3. Advanced courses
For scientific research innovation and engineering applications, this course covers EGO-Planner path planning、SpireCV Target recognition and tracking, multi-UAV collaboration and cluster control help students master cutting-edge technologies and application development capabilities.

04 Multi-scenario solution

Focusing on the needs of scientific research and engineering practice in universities and accelerating the integration of industry, academia and research, AMOVLAB has launched five major technical solutions. These solutions not only support experiments and teaching, but also serve as a basic platform for scientific research and innovation, helping universities to quickly form unique research directions and promote project incubation and practical application.

• UAV cluster formation and distributed collaboration It supports indoor/outdoor multi-aircraft autonomous flight, formation transformation, and task allocation, and provides simulation systems and open-source interfaces to facilitate cluster research and algorithm development.

• Cluster obstacle avoidance and intelligent path planning Integrate cluster obstacle avoidance algorithms such as SwarmFormation, and combine with LiDAR to achieve real-time environment perception and formation obstacle avoidance to maintain formation stability in complex environments.

• Intelligent search and target recognition Based on the MPC search planning algorithm and SpireCV vision module, distributed search, target recognition, inter-machine collision avoidance and round-up are realized.

• air-ground coordination operations and information sharing Integrate UAV and unmanned vehicles to realize the collaborative workflow of "air search-ground execution" and adapt to scientific research and engineering application scenarios.

• Industry UAV inspection and intelligent sensing based on SU17 Industry UAV Intelligent sensing capabilities enable indoor inspection tasks such as power, tunnels, and buildings.

05 Comprehensively guarantee the realization of teaching/scientific research tasks

AMOVLAB provides systematic professional teaching and training services, including online courses, customized teaching, offline training and technical support, to fully guarantee the advancement of teaching and scientific research tasks of universities and help students systematically master UAV knowledge, development skills and cutting-edge technology application capabilities.

• Provide customized technical training according to the teaching focus and scientific research direction of universities

• Supporting offline AMOVLAB immersive training camp

• PrometheusUAV monthly training

• Online training courses

• Open an online exclusive technical Q&A group, and a team of professional engineers will answer questions online

06 open-source ecological support

Relying on the four major open-source projects of Prometheus, FMT, SpireCV, and KKSwarm, AMOVLAB has created an open-source technology ecosystem covering control, planning, vision, and clustering, forming a full-link learning system integrating open-source resources, system courses, and technical support. In addition to providing supporting courses and special training, AMOVLAB has also built a diversified communication platform:

• Technical forum helps knowledge accumulation, and 10,000+ developers make progress together

• The technical community is active and supports timely communication and cooperation.

Colleges and universities can not only obtain systematic learning resources, but also leverage AMOVLAB’s ecosystem to promote the in-depth integration of teaching, scientific research and innovative applications.
