Aerial Robotics Virtual Lab (ARVL)

ERAU-Worldwide, in partnership with Pinnacle Solutions, developed the Aerial Robotics Virtual Laboratory (ARVL) to serve as an interactive simulation tool to explore the elements, design, and application of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Throughout this course, you will explore aspects of UAS design and configuration, including interaction and practice using tools such as ARVL.

Note: The application is approximately 150 MB in size. It could take up to 30 minutes or longer to download. You may gauge your download time by checking your internet download speed by visiting Speedtest.net.
