Bachelor's Final Projects: Integrating Multidisciplinary Learning via Multi-rotor Testbench Design

This paper presents the outcomes of two thesis projects conducted by bachelor students in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Padova. The aim of both projects is to design, develop, implement, and validate laboratory testbenches for characterizing key inertial and actuation parameters of small and medium-sized multi-rotor platforms. By integrating concepts from mechanics, electronics, computer engineering, and automatic control, these activities foster a multidisciplinary understanding of mechatronics engineering. Additionally, the practical nature of the projects reinforces comprehension and real-world application of control theory while enhancing teamwork and communication skills.
