The International Micro Air Vehicle flight competition as autonomy benchmark
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of air vehicles with competitions has a long history [1]. The first Micro Air Vehicle competition was organized in 1997 at the University of Florida, the same year that the first RoboCup was organized in Nagoya, Japan [2]. From 1997 to 2006 (except 2003) the size of the Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) was reduced. Yet, with the reduced size it became also more and more challenging to operate and navigate those vehicles. Since 2007 autonomy in the control of the vehicles became more important; this resulted in an increasing score bonus in the rules.

متن کاملVision-guided flight stability and control for micro air vehicles
Substantial progress has been made recently towards designing, building and test-flying remotely piloted Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) and small UAVs. We seek to complement this progress in overcoming the aerodynamic obstacles to flight at very small scales with a vision-guided flight stability and autonomy system, based on a robust horizon detection algorithm. In this paper, we first motivate the ...
متن کاملMulti-objective Modeling Based on Competition Airlines Cooperation by Game Theory and Sustainable Development Approach
In each time period, the demand of passengers for each route are finite and airlines compete for earning more profits. The complex competition among airlines causes problems, such as complicating flight planning and increasing empty seats for some routes. These problems increase air pollution and fuel consumption. To solve these problems, this research studies the cooperation of the airlines wi...
متن کاملTrim and Maneuverability Analysis Using a New Constrained PSO Approach of a UAV
Performance characteristic of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is investigated using a newly developed heuristic approach. Almost all flight phases of any air vehicle can be categorized into trim and maneuvering flights. In this paper, a new envelope called trim-ability envelope, is introduced and sketched within the conventional flight envelope for a small UAV. Optimal maneuverability of the inte...
