General Introduction
The FPV Technology Olympics 2026 is a national competition focused on first-person view drone technologies, held as part of the Technology Olympics 2026. The event is centered around two main pillars: artificial intelligence and flight algorithms, and professional FPV piloting.
It provides a serious competitive platform for talented, student, and professional teams to demonstrate their technical and operational capabilities in the field of FPV drones.
Objectives
- To create a competitive platform for simultaneously assessing algorithm development and piloting skills.
- To reduce dependence on expensive hardware by providing standardized equipment through the organizer.
- To connect technical teams with the investment market and industry.
- To elevate the standards of FPV competitions to the level of a comprehensive engineering and commercial challenge.
Competition Stages
The competition is designed in two stages:
Stage 1 – Simulation-Based Competition
Participants are required to design and implement an intelligent FPV drone in a simulation environment.
The main focus of this stage will be on:
- Target detection algorithms
- Flight stability
- Route optimization
- Obstacle response
At this stage, no physical hardware will be used. The entire competition will be based on coding and the intelligence of the developed algorithms.
At the same time, participants will also practice their piloting skills in the same simulator in preparation for the on-site stage.
Stage 2 – On-Site Competition
The top 20 teams from the first stage will qualify for the on-site competition.
At this stage, identical hardware equipment will be provided to all teams. After assembly and preparation, teams will compete in an FPV piloting course featuring speed gates, altitude obstacles, and consecutive turns.
Target Participants
- Students and graduates in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, control engineering, and related fields.
- Individuals interested in autonomous drones, flight algorithms, and automated guidance systems.
- Student and independent teams active in the design, development, and programming of multirotor systems.
- Participants with experience in flight simulators, navigation algorithms, and path-planning systems.
Summary
The FPV Technology Olympics 2026 is not an entertainment-based competition. It is a technical, competitive, and business-oriented event with a clear structure, defined stages, and professional judging.
If you are active in flight algorithms, simulation, drone control, or FPV piloting, this event is the right place for you.
