About UAVPROG
At UAVPROG, we offer professional drone solutions for educational purposes, including SDKs, visual programming, and a well-developed learning environment, as well as comprehensive post-production services to support a wide range of academic and instructional applications.
Our Experience & Measures
-
Satisfied students
Lessons are built around doing: students write code, watch it fly and learn from every attempt.
-
Comprehensive learning
One path from visual blocks to Python, simulation and real flight, with theory, quizzes and hints on the way.
-
Hands-on drone projects
Every topic turns into a mission: routes, markers, sensors and autonomy on a real drone.
-
Proven and reliable hardware
PMINI and PMAXI are made for classrooms and labs: propeller guards, indoor positioning and replaceable parts.
What we build
Everything a school or university needs to teach drone programming, from the first lesson to research projects.
- 01
SDKs
Python on PMINI and PMAXI, onboard apps on the ESP32, and ROS 2 with C++ on the Raspberry Pi 5.
- 02
Visual programming
Blocks for first-time coders, with a natural step from blocks to Python.
- 03
Learning environment
UAVPROG Academy: interactive lessons, a 3D simulator, progress tracking and a lesson editor.
- 04
Support and services
Course planning, drone setup, training for teachers and support for academic projects.
