micro unmanned aerial vehicles presentation
DESCRIPTION
A presentation on Micro Aerial Vehicles and some of the effects on our future they will have including past, current, and future development of MAVs.TRANSCRIPT
Micro Aerial VehiclesThe Future of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
What are MAVs?Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV)
Smaller than traditional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
Some are toys, however mainly military development
Helicopters, planes, hovercrafts, and others
What can MAVs do?Remote reconnaissance and targetingRemote observation of environmentsUnmanned mission completion
What are the benefits of MAV Technology?Lower cost per unitMinimal training requiredMinimal manpower requiredMilitary effectiveness
What has been done?
Autonomous flight3D MappingMission completion
MAV Flight Software

What is being done?Improvements to design of aircraftsImplementation in real world / militaryNUI-based control
Gestural MAV Control

What am I working on?Some forms of basic NUI exist, but the
majority are still in development.Multi-touch better for missions than gesture-
based NUI systems
What is the future of MAVs?Complete military implementationMultiple interfaces for controlManpower reduction by vast amountsBetter toys!
