Autonomous Drone Racing in the UTIAS MarsDome
The ADR team is thrilled to announce our latest milestone: the successful autonomous drone racing within the UTIAS MarsDome. As we gear up for the world’s largest autonomous drone racing competition in April 2025 in Abu Dhabi, the MarsDome will serve as our primary training ground. Here, we will refine our strategies, test new innovations, and continue to push the limits of what’s possible in autonomous drone racing.

Assemply of ADR Drones
We developed a new FPV drone and conducted a manual flight test at the UTIAS soccer field to assess its performance. During the test, we evaluated the drone’s handling, responsiveness, and stability in a real-world environment, gathering critical data for further refinement of its design and control algorithms.
