Latin America's first academic autonomous drone team. Founded in 2014 as a research project at the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), we build unmanned aircraft for missions that rely on computer vision and artificial intelligence.

We compete nationally and internationally — IMAV (3rd place indoor 2023 and 2025), the CBR Flying Robot League, and SAE EletroQuad (2nd place 2026).
