This year‘s International Micro Air Vehicles Conference and Flight Competition (IMAV) was organized by the Institute of Flight System Dynamics of the RWTH Aachen University and the German Institute of Navigation. It took place in Aachen, Germany from September 15-18.
The IMAV is a yearly event that combines a diversified scientific conference with a technological competition involving Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Such a combination allows research groups from all over the world to share their knowledge, and stimulates them to focus on research that can be used in real life scenarios.
The 2015 competition consisted of both an outdoor and an indoor part, with a focus on surveillance, recognition, logisitics, precise maneuvering in combination with endurance.
