Designing, Building,
and Flying
Next-Gen UAVs.
AARG is a student-led engineering team within AISSMS IOIT's Drone club dedicated to autonomous aviation, building high-performance fixed-wing aircraft and heavy-lift multirotor drones for prestigious competitions.
THE GROUP'S PURPOSE
Who We Are
Advanced Aerial Robotics Group (AARG) is the official student-led aerial robotics organization at AISSMS Institute of Information Technology, bringing together students with a shared passion for aerospace, robotics, embedded systems, and autonomous technologies. Founded to foster innovation through hands-on engineering, AARG provides a collaborative environment where members transform ideas into practical aerial robotic systems while developing the technical skills required to solve real-world engineering challenges.
What We Do
At AARG, learning happens by building. Our members work on the complete spectrum of aerial robotics, including unmanned aerial vehicles, embedded flight controllers, autonomous navigation, computer vision, control systems, and intelligent mission planning. Through research-oriented projects, technical workshops, competitions, and collaborative development, we encourage a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and continuous improvement. Whether designing custom hardware, developing flight software, or integrating AI into autonomous platforms, every project is driven by a commitment to engineering excellence.
Our Goal
AARG's mission is to build a strong community of innovators who thrive on competition. By designing, building, and flying UAVs for national and international challenges such as NIDAR and ISRO's IROC-U, the team transforms classroom learning into hands-on engineering experience. Students collaborate across disciplines, solve real-world technical challenges under competitive environments, and graduate prepared for careers in aerospace, robotics, and advanced technology, while strengthening AISSMS IoIT's culture of innovation and engineering excellence.
Official Hardware Partner
YARI Robotics
YARI Robotics equips AARG with next-generation YARI V6X flight controllers, M9N multi-constellation GNSS, and AM32 ESCs to power our ArduPilot multirotor platforms and the RescueSwarm initiative for NIDAR.
Artemon Aerospace
Artemon Aerospace supports AARG with advanced 3D printing and rapid prototyping solutions, enabling precise fabrication of custom airframe mounts, sensor housings, and structural components for our aerial platforms.
ANSYS
ANSYS provides AARG with high-performance CFD and engineering simulation licences, empowering our team to execute advanced fluid dynamics and structural analyses to optimize aerodynamic efficiency across all competition platforms.
Testimonials
“Being a part of the team was an incredible journey that made me rethink how actual hardware interacts in real-world conditions. I would have probably spent all my time watching evangelion in the morning and rotting over the unholy nature of C++ by the night if it wasn't for the team to pick me up every day from my own headspace and drag me towards some of the most demanding algorithmic problems in the aerospace industry.”
