OVERVIEW
=========
Micro and nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs), often referred to as
drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles of various forms, such as small
quadrocopters, airplanes, balloons, or tiny flapping wing vehicles. They
are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various
mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications
employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland
and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and
products (e.g., Amazon has recently advertised their new drone delivery
system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are
autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided
by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers,
GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all
useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely
on fleets of MAVs that need to coordinate their activities.
PROGRAM
=========
