Abstract
A control system architecture is described for an autonomous flying vehicle. The vehicle, equipped with seventeen sensors, uses a model helicopter as an intraframe. The control system utilizes these sensors to remain aloft and in stable flight, to navigate to a target, and to manipulate a physical object. The overall approach to the problem is based on a behavioral paradigm. As the craft is airborne it is in constant risk of crashing. Unlike terrestrial mobile robots, the craft must constantly make sound decisions to maintain its integrity Author(s) Lewis, M.A. Univ. of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA Fagg, A.H. ; Bekey, George A.Keywords
