چکیده
In preparation for the 2003 International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) the Aerial Robotics Club (ARC) at the University of Arizona has designed an autonomous aerial robot. This years aerial system consists of a small-scale airplane with an on-board guidance navigation control system and a ground station of networked computers for mission planning, user interface, and vision related computations. This document summarizes the IARC mission requirements, team objectives, and overall system design including guidance, navigation and control, computer vision and risk reduction strategies.
