+**Course:**  {EECS4080}
+**Supervisor:** Michael Jenkin
+**Supervisor's email address:** jenkin@yorku.ca
+**Project Description:**
+Having an ‘eye in the sky’ can enhance considerably the sensing ability of a ground-based robot. This project involves planning and constructing a tethered (10m) drone to operate from a moving platform to provide sensor data beyond the line of sight of the ground-based robot. This will involve modifying an existing quadcopter design to support tethered operation and dealing with tether management,
+**Required skills or prerequisites:**
+  - Ability to work independently and in groups
+  - Good Python programming skills
+  - interest in building/flying a tethered quadcopter
+  - Knowledge of/interest in ROS2 would be helpful
+**Recommended skills or prerequisites:**
+None beyond 4080 prerequisites
+**Instructions:**
+Contact Michael Jenkin by email (jenkin@yorku.ca) if interested.
