Re: Teaching DRONES In a robotics class

If you are teaching best to get the terminology down for the students...

A drone can be any unmanned, remotely/autonomously guided vehicle, in the air on land on or under water.

A UAV is always an airborne vehicle (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)

A Quadcopter is a helicopter with 4 rotors. It might be unmanned, it might be manned

So teaching DRONES would include air, land and water unmanned remotely/autonomously controlled vehicles... I think you are really talking about teaching "UAV Drones that are specifically unmanned Quadcopters."
