The platform originated from the <a href=\"https:\/\/projekte.ffg.at\/projekt\/5125077\">FFG-funded R&amp;D project SAMURAI<\/a> and was <a href=\"https:\/\/2026.ieee-educon.org\/\">presented at IEEE EDUCON<\/a> in 2026. It is also intended for hobbyists and drone enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-ovl-heading\" data-accent=\"true\" data-tag=\"h2\" data-style-level=\"h4\">Technical Features And Open-source Approach:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The frame is fully 3D-printable, whilst the electronics rely on readily available COTS (Commercial off the Shelf) components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A detailed build manual provides step-by-step guidance right through to the maiden flight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The standardised motor interface allows the use of a wide range of embedded flight controllers \u2013 from STM32 and PSoC5\/6 through to AURIX 2G and FPGA-based RISC-V platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All project files are <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/uastw-embsys\/comet\">available to the community here under open licences<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/certification.oshwa.org\/\">OSHWA certification<\/a> is planned and currently in preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-ovl-heading\" data-accent=\"true\" data-tag=\"h2\" data-style-level=\"h4\">Use In Teaching And Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COMET is used in courses within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technikum-wien.at\/departments\/electronic-engineering\/\">Embedded Systems competence field<\/a> as a standardised teaching and experimentation platform at various levels of education \u2013 from schools and universities to workshops \u2013 for electronics and embedded systems as well as for more advanced topics such as localisation and indoor navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At UAS Technikum Wien, COMET is currently being used in several Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s theses, including fault injection, the resilience of flight controllers and indoor positioning. Furthermore, the platform is incorporated into regular courses as a motivating practical example, for instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Microcontroller Software Design in the Bachelor\u2019s programme in Information and Communication Technologies and Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronics Systems and PCB Design in the Bachelor\u2019s programme in Electronic Engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>System-on-Chip Design in the Master\u2019s programme in Embedded Systems (including an FPGA-based COMET variant as an SoPC example)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COMET is also used in outreach activities: during the \u2018Build-and-Fly\u2019 workshop for school pupils (secondary school and HTL) as part of Electronics Days 2026, the drones were mechanically assembled, the flight controller was configured and a test flight was carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the open-source approach, COMET is intended to serve as a standardised teaching and experimentation platform beyond the scope of the Embedded Systems discipline and outside UAS Technikum Wien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The COMET platform was presented in a paper (<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrxiv.org\/doi\/full\/10.36227\/techrxiv.177222563.34103951\/v1\">TechRxiv<\/a>, presentation: <a href=\"https:\/\/2026.ieee-educon.org\/\">IEEE EDUCON 2026<\/a>) and is <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/uastw-embsys\/comet\"><strong>publicly available here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Images of COMET:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.technikum-wien.at\/s\/HcWK3ozydmtt4MS\">https:\/\/cloud.technikum-wien.at\/s\/HcWK3ozydmtt4MS<\/a><br>Photo credit: UAS Technikum Wien<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact Roman Beneder and Christoph B\u00f6hm:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"mailto:roman.beneder@technikum-wien.at\">roman.beneder@technikum-wien.at<\/a><br><a href=\"mailto:christoph.boehm@technikum-wien.at\">christoph.boehm@technikum-wien.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-ovl-heading\" data-accent=\"true\" data-tag=\"h2\" data-style-level=\"h4\">Further Information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technikum-wien.at\/news\/neue-multikopter-plattform-comet-erster-testprototyp-im-miniformat-entwickelt\/\">New COMET multicopter platform: First mini-format test prototype developed<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technikum-wien.at\/forschungsprojekte\/drohnentechnik-in-der-fachhochschulausbildung\/\">City of Vienna Expert Team for Drone Technology in University of Applied Sciences Education (Drohn FH)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technikum-wien.at\/departments\/electronic-engineering\/\">Department of Electronic Engineering &amp;
