Aerial Robotics Kharagpur

We are an enthusiastic group of students working towards building autonomous aerial vehicles, based at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

Building the Future of Aerial Robotics

Aerial Robotics Kharagpur (ARK) is the student aerial robotics research group at IIT Kharagpur. We bring together students from diverse engineering disciplines to design, develop, and test autonomous aerial systems while tackling real-world engineering challenges.

Driven by curiosity and collaboration, ARK provides a platform where members learn by building, conducting research, and transforming innovative ideas into practical solutions.

The Team

Projects

Every project at ARK begins with a problem worth solving. From initial concepts and simulations to prototyping, testing, and refinement, our members gain hands-on experience across the complete engineering process.

Our projects span competitive challenges, research initiatives, and collaborative efforts with organizations such as the Indian Army, alongside participation in international competitions. Through these opportunities, we pursue technical excellence, continuous learning, and meaningful innovation in aerial robotics.
