چکیده
[1] ABSTRACT The International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) is designed for colleges and universities to compete in the design and construction of an autonomous aerial vehicle. Pima Community College is being represented by the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Club. The UAV Club has designed a primary vehicle and three subvehicles that will be used in the competition. The vehicles were designed with autopilots that will work closely with GPS navigation and groundbased computers to control the aircraft. The following will explain the mission objectives and their purposes, the purpose of the design of the vehicles, the problems encountered and solved, design of software and the use of optical sensors to achieve success.
