The unmanned system is an integration of advanced technologies developed in communications, computing, and control areas. It is a useful testing ground for trialing and implementing modern control techniques despite the challenges introduced by the limitations on direct scalability between the systems of a small-scale rotorcraft and those of its full-scale counterpart. Included are detailed expositions of: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystematic hardware construction;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esoftware systems integration;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaerodynamic modeling; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eautomatic flight control system design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasis is placed on the cooperative control and flight formation of multiple UAVs, vision-based ground-target tracking, and landing on moving platforms. Other issues such as the development of indoor micro aerial vehicles (that have to operate without access to a global positioning system) and vision-based navigation are also discussed in depth.
