Development of an Autonomous Unmanned Aerial System for AUVSI SUAS Competition

摘要

In preparation for the Student Unmanned Aerial Systems competition of 2015, theTechnion Aerial Systems (TAS) team’s objective was to design, develop, manufacture andverify a new and improved system, surpassing the capabilities of a system presented lastyear in the competition. Undergraduate students from both the Aerospace Engineeringand the Electrical Engineering faculties developed the new system, named Tyto. Thestudents designed and manufactured their own custom aircraft, suited for thecompetition's missions and integrated it with full autonomous capabilities, a high qualitystabilized imaging payload, and reliable, independent communications to the GroundControl Station, while keeping safety a foremost priority throughout the entire process.
