Application of Concurrent Engineering Methods to the Design of an AutonomousAerial Robot

摘要

This paper documents the year-long efforts of a multidisciplinary design team todesign, build, and support an autonomous aerial robotics system. The system was developed to participate in the Association for Unmanned Vehicle System's (AUVS) First International Aerial Robotics Competition which was held in Atlanta, Georgia on the Georgia Tech campus on July 29th, 1991. As development time and budget were extremely limited, the team elected to attempt the design using concurrent engineering design methods. These methods were validated in an IDA
