EPFL will open its doors to the public from 31 August to 2 September for the second annual EPFL Drone Days. This family-friendly dronefest will feature aerial races, workshops, expert speakers, demos and a chance for visitors to get in the virtual cockpit. Piloting a drone using special immersive goggles is probably the next best thing to flying like a bird - and the public will be able to try it out at the upcoming EPFL Drone Days 2018. This three-day event, which starts in less than two weeks, is designed to explore drones in all their wonder. It will be held on the campus of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and is being run in partnership with the World Air Sports Federation (FAI), the Swiss Rotor Sports Association (SRSA) and the EPFL Aéropoly association. This is the second edition of EPFL Drone Days, which drew some 5,000 visitors in 2017. This year, hands-on experience will take front and center.
