The study on creating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) known as a drone by Major Le Quy Thoi, a lecturer of Telecommunications University has won the first prize in the Scientific & Technological Creation Contest at school and arms level.
Technical mastery
Designing and creating UAV is quite new in Vietnam so the study plays an important role in unmanned aircraft technical training and transfer; the creation of a multirotor drone which can hover to support search and rescue operations, medium-altitude UAV testing for research and civil purposes. Therefore, the study is titled designing and creating UAV for surveillance, aerial photography, reconnaissance and rescue.

To create the made-in-Vietnam UAV, Major Le Quy Thoi has spent nearly 2 years doing research, using his own more than VND30 million on the hardwares and softwares. For him, the most challenge is designing the controller for Quadcopter. He had to conduct various tests to make sure its stable operation. All the details are designed and made by a 3D printer. During the invention, an exact calculation of the total angular momentum is required to balance the UAV, making it fly still or change directions.
The hardware used in the flight microcontroller board includes components such as sensors, a magnetic field, technology support, a gyroscope, a positioning system, a microcontroller and other technology related devices. Therefore, it can be remotely controlled using a laptop or a smart phone to get perspectives.
The complete technical mastery, design and creation as well as the base programming copyright has allowed the product repair and improvement to be much easier compared with that originated abroad. Besides, the product is made with environmentally-friendly materials which can be flexible during the 3D printing.
Effective, active lecturer
Major Le Quy Thoi used to be a student major in math at Tran Hung Dao Gifted High School in Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan. He studied at Military Technology Academy, specialized in electricity and electronics and graduated in 2005. He is also good at teaching electronics in English. In 2017, his smart anti-theft project won the second prize.
UAV has become more and more popular but with relatively high prices. Therefore, creating a copyrighted made-in-Vietnam model should be the target Vietnam is striving for, according to Major Le Quy Thoi.
Colonel Nguyen Ton Huynh, Dean of the Department of Basic Engineering, Telecommunications University says Le Quy Thoi is an excellent lecturer, competent in English language skills and always striving for further technical mastery. In 2018, he was recognized as an excellent teacher at school and arms level. His study about UAV has won the first prize at school level, showing his technological competence in the creation, using a 3D printer. Reportedly, his research has also received the first prize at the Scientific & Technological Creation Contest at arms level.
