On Friday 31 Bhadra 2079, an informative cum recruitment seminar on cutting-edge technology of drones was organized at Khwopa Engineering College for the students of Computer Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. A team from Angelswing conducted the session which lasted about 2 hrs. The primary objectives of the session were to inform the students about the cutting-edge technologies in the field of drones applied at construction sites and provide recruitment opportunities to them. A total of 110 students participated in the seminar.
Angleswing is a South-Korean startup that mainly works on using drones to capture the environment and provide a Software As A Service (SAAS) model for Orthophoto Analysis. It aims to be next to the Google Earth. Angleswing presents itself as the 3rd generation of Con-Tech (Construction Technology) startups considering AutoDesk as 1st and PlanGrid and BlueBeam as 2nd. Angleswing basically collects data from aerial surveys and provides Documentation, Management, Sites surveys, and helps in Construction Safety.
The session was formally begun by Peter Park, Co-Founder of Angleswing. According to him, the motivation to start Angleswing came after the Gorkha Earthquake, 2015, in Nepal. He said that the gap in technology could be filled by using drones to survey and analyze disaster-struck areas with much safety and accuracy. According to him, the system also helps to monitor sites without being in the field. The plan is to establish drone stations where the drone can fly and collect data, send it back to the cloud and charge itself without or with very less human involvement.
At the program, the Lead Engineer for Nepal Er. Ayush GC also spelt out his valuable insights on how this company is working on innovations and encouraged students to join this organization and explore new problem-solving sectors.
The Product leader Mr. Mathew Lee shed light on the technologies that stay at the core of Angleswing, mentioning a few, like DJI Mobile SDK, AWS, GDAL & OGR, Point Cloud, etc. The research leader Er. Aayushma Pant invited and encouraged students to work in this research field, too.
The program was concluded with the distribution of tokens of love to the guests by Er. Bikash Chawal, Head of Department, Computer Engineering and Er. Yogesh Bajracharya, Head of Department, Electronics & Communications Engineering. Er. Chawal shared his valuable insights on how students should connect with such innovative projects and assures all that the department and Khwopa Engineering College will always help to organize such events in the future and promote such initiatives.
