Recent Advances in Design, Development and Operation of Micro Air Vehicles 

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (Telangana) India
5 - 7 November, 2014

About ICRAMAV 2014

The Conference primarily focuses on important issues related to guidance, navigation, control, sensors, aerodynamics, system engineering, operations, legal aspects, fuselage & propulsion systems related to Unmanned Air Vehicles.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The concept of Micro-sized Unmanned Air Vehicles or Micro Air Vehicles has gained increasing interest over the past few years, with the main aim of carrying out surveillance missions. The primary payload of these tiny aircraft is usually a miniature image sensor. Operating in an approximate radius of 600 metres from the launch point, Micro Air Vehicles are used to acquire real-time visual information for a wide range of applications.

Autonomous air vehicles are about to play major role in tasks like reconnaissance for search and rescue, environment monitoring, security surveillance. Their mobility and sensing capabilities, unavailable ground robots - make them the ideal platform for exploration, mapping, and monitoring tasks, and for transport/delivery to payloads in complex 3-dimensional environments. If they are further realized in small scale, they can also be used in narrow outdoor and indoor environments, and they represent only a limited risk for the environment and people living in it. However, for such operations today’s systems navigating only on GPS information are no longer sufficient. Fully autonomous operation in cities or other dense environments requires the Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) to fly at low altitude or indoors – where GPS signals are often shadowed – and to explore actively unknown environments while avoiding collisions and creating maps. This involves a number of challenges at all levels: helicopter design, power supply, perception, actuation, navigation, and control.

The demand for small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), commonly termed MAVs, is rapidly increasing. Driven by applications ranging from civil search-and-rescue missions to military surveillance missions, there is a rising level of interest and investment in better vehicle designs, and miniaturized components are enabling many rapid advances. The need to better understand fundamental aspects of flight for small vehicles has spawned a surge in high quality research in the area of MAV research. These aircrafts have a set of constraints which are, in many ways, considerably different from that of traditional aircraft and are often best addressed by a multidisciplinary approach. Fast-response non-linear controls, nano-structures, integrated propulsion and lift mechanisms, highly flexible structures, and low Reynolds aerodynamics are just a few of the important considerations which may be combined in the execution of MAV research. The role of the International conference on Micro Air Vehicle Research is to provide scientific and engineering community with a resource dedicated to publishing high-quality technical articles summarizing both fundamental and applied research in this field.

OBJECTIVES

• To demonstrate an affordable, responsive, easy to operate, back packable reconnaissance and surveillance system.
• To share the experience of the scientists, engineers, industrialists and policy makers globally in the field of MAVs with a focus on meeting the Recent Advances in Design, Development & Operation of Micro Air Vehicles.
• To provide a platform for researchers and organizations to exhibit their hardware and software products of Design, Development and Operation of Micro Air Vehicles and related technologies.
