This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost aerial robotic system using the E88 Pro drone platform integrated with the nRF7001 Wi-Fi 6 IC. The motivation stems from the need for affordable, modular drones for educational, research, and prototyping purposes. By leveraging the minimalist architecture of the E88 Pro and enhancing its communication capabilities with Wi-Fi 6, the system achieves reliable short-range control, reduced latency, and improved data throughput. The integration process involved hardware modifications, firmware development, and protocol configuration. Experimental results demonstrate stable flight performance, efficient power consumption, and a total build cost around Rupees 700 Only. This work contributes to the democratization of aerial robotics and opens avenues for scalable, swarm-based applications using next-generation wireless standards.
