Technical Committee on Aerial Robotics and Unmanned Aerial
Technical Committee on Aerial Robotics and Unmanned Aerial Systems Scope: Flying opens opportunities to automate and robotically perform tasks such as search and rescue, reconnaissance, surveillance, mapping, monitoring, infrastructure and plant inspection and maintenance. Key areas to be addressed include innovative unmanned aerial vehicle design, aerial robots physically interacting with the environment, autonomous missions, guidance, navigation and control, improving mission endurance, integration of UAS into non-segregated airspace, and multi-vehicle coordination. Standards development and safety when flying close people and critical infrastructures remains major challenges that need to be addressed. Topics of Interest Include but not limited to: Airframe design; Field service; Sensor suites; Human-computer interfaces; Autonomous tasks; Localization; Propulsion and Engines; Aerial vehicle teams; Airworthiness; Sense-and-avoid; Aerial manipulation.
