LOCATION / ACCOMMODATION

The Musiflore Center which hosts the camps drone connexion is located in Crupies, in the heart of Pré-Alpes Provençales. Nestled in the heart of preserved 49 hectares of mountains, meadows and forest, this center will allow you to live your stay in contact with nature.

You will be accommodated in nicely equipped rooms with 2 to 6 places, in a completely renovated building. You will benefit from numerous activity rooms on the whole infrastructure of the property as well as a amphitheater which allows at the same time the organization of the booms but also the retransmissions organized by the participants and the passing of torches for the following groups.

The sunshine privileged of this region is ideal for our aerial activities. It is also full of streams to discover, meadows to explore, forests to walk, and as many different and diverse dwellings to discover. This makes this place an ideal place to conduct our experiments and test our tools.

Pays de BOURDEAUX, it is the Forest of Saoû, which is the most exceptional natural site of the department! But it is also a land made of contrasts and lights, thirsty stones, marls, undergrowth and scrubland with thyme and lavender. A little piece of paradise of the Drôme Pre-Alps between Vercors and Provence.

The village of Crupies is a small town characterized by its lack of village center, but whose fame is assured by Musiflore and the Chapel St John (XIth Century). From the top of its hill, it dominates and monitors the river Roubion shining in the sun.

DAILY ON SITE

After joining a team and choosing the project that suits you best, you will have to carry it out:

Using drone professionals, biodiversity and animal photography, you’ll build your assumptions. You will be able to exchange with the participants of other OSI stays like the treethreads or the water which will be able to expose their problem directly to you. You will then need to take advantage of our FABLAB resources to design your solution. Generally, the first week is dedicated to this work. You can build your drone multirotor, your aircraft drone or your terrestrial drone, equip it with shooting equipment or design your reception stations on the ground.

 Then, the second week will be more generally dedicated to tests in the field. In the program, you will need to plan your missions and move in nature to accomplish them. Regular and group debriefings will be organized with the possibility of returning to workshop to correct any problems. Thus, you may need to process your images, analyze them and mount them for what can be exploitable.

The end of the stay will be devoted to retransmissions. This privileged moment of exchange will allow you to expose your work and pass the torch to the following teams.

Finally, throughout the stay, you can follow a complete training pilotage of the various machines on the camp. You will be able to initiate and perfect youself in the handling of aerial and terrestrial drones. Small tests in the form of games will be organized as precision landing contests for example or agility courses. All these skills that you develop then will serve you fully during field trips.
