The field of Micro Aerial Vehicles is gaining an important interest from the scientific, industrial and hobbyist communities. These flying systems can be of high value in surveillance, search, rescue and many other missions. The multidisciplinary aspect of MAVs makes it challenging for a research group, with specific expertise, to master the numerous related scientific problems. Therefore, workshops which regroup scientists working in different disciplines of aerial vehicles, represent a very good opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss progress and challenges. The proposed workshop is one of these opportunities. It will focus on several research questions on fixed-wing, rotary-wing and other types of MAVs. It shall also help to identify current and future challenges and review future research directions. This event will be the meeting place for aerial-robotic researchers interested in theoretical and practical problems of MAVs.
A potential special issue of the Journal of Field Robotics coming out of the Workshop is in discussion.
Prospective participants should submit an abstract (max. 2 pages, see abstract TEMPLATE) describing recent and innovative work. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to make an oral presentation. All submissions are due in PDF format to Samir Bouabdallah, samir.bouabdallah(AT)ieee.org.
