The Berkeley Aerobotics group is also expanding its research scope into the advanced control and coordination of fixed-wing UAVs. Leveraging on their expertise, experiences, and thoroughly investigated flight control software from the rotary wing cousins, BEAR group has created a fully autonomous UAV...

Berkeley Aerobot Team’s Ursa Electra UAV series is, as the name implies, based on an electrically powered radio-control helicopter, Maxi-Joker. It was originally designed to serve as the vehicle platform for a DARPA Perch-n-Move project. The helicopter is capable of fully autonomous takeoff and landing...

BEAR research facility features a fleet of BEAR helicopter UAVs, fixed-wing UAVs, unmanned ground robots, and a mobile ground station. Since its beginning in 1996, more than six helicopters have been instrumented and five of them are in full service. These UAVs are instrumental for the development of...

The Berkeley Aerobot (BEAR) project is a collective, interdisciplinary research effort at UC Berkeley that encompasses the disciplines of hybrid systems theory, navigation, control, computer vision, communication, and multi-agent coordination, since 1996. They currently operate six fully instrumented...

The Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control (STARMAC) uses a miniature autonomous waypoint tracker flight control system, and the creation of a multi-vehicle platform for experimentation and validation of multi-agent control algorithms. This testbed development paves the way...

The Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control (STARMAC) is a multi vehicle test bed used to demonstrate new concepts in multi agent control on a real-world platform. In order to make such a testbed easy to use, the Stanford team focused on a small and light, low cost design,...

ETV is wrapping up for the year 2007, and we wanted to share the top viewed videos of the last year. This years top 10 included a futuristic car, a running robot, a portable EMI tent, water striding robotics and much more.[Video]

The M.A.R.S. (multi-appendage robot system) is a robotic instrument designed to be used in zero gravity for the NASA JPL to walk outside the space station or the next generation space exploration task. [Video]

Atair Aerospace is a high-technology defense contractor dedicated to modernizing military and government logistics by creatively solving complex aerospace and engineering problems that integrate the state-of-the-art in parachute designs and guidance, navigation, and control systems. [Video]

The second generation Robonaut from NASA improves on the first with very tightly packaged electronics and also structural modifications for use in space mounted to a large arm or as a planetary explorer. [Video]
