Our project addressed a challenge in the DEVCOM company involving a remote controlled drone. The initial interface for this drone developed in the DEVCOM lab was difficult to use and outdated. We wanted to create a simpler app using a different programming platform to produce a more user-friendly interface. We intended to achieve this goal by creating multiple web pages, each responsible for different functions of the drone. These improvements would enable easy access to essential information and allow the user to easily make software changes. 

Our motivation was to relieve the burden on the DEVCOM lab and enhance overall company productivity. We were successful—we crafted a user-friendly interface, complete with a login page for added security. The interface allows employees from various departments, even those with limited knowledge in drone operations, to effortlessly perform required tasks.

By making the drone’s basic functions easier to understand and use, we were able to create a simplified and efficient work environment. This project not only benefits individual departments but also contributes to the company’s overall effectiveness. The simplified interface ensures that employees can access and operate the drone without complex training. This simplification allows for a more inclusive and productive workplace.
