The MavLab team of the TUDelft presented their latest developments at IMAV2013 in Toulouse.
The IMAV is a conference and competition in the field of small, unmanned aircraft. During the competition these small aerial vehicles, some of them not bigger than a bird or an insect, have to complete complex missions, such as navigating their way around obstacles or collaborating with other autonomous aircraft to search areas as efficiently as possible. Other participating teams at IMAV 2013 included Cambridge University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
