EDGE™ Background Past projects focused on obtaining small size MAV rules have changed so focus is on autonomy with small size being secondary. Fly autonomously indoors and out MIT Autonomous UAV Aerobatics Project

EDGE™ Project Mission Statement Product Description /Project Overview To design and build a flight control system for the Micro Aerial Vehicle, that will most quickly lead to a fully autonomous system. Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables Primary Business Goals: – Make the MAV as autonomous as possible. A control system able to stabilize and control the flight of the MAV based on inputs. A control system that can be adapted for flight conditions, payloads and platform characteristics. A fully tested control system capable of integrating to the MAV platform. Secondary Business Goal: – System capable of competing in the 2010 MAV Competition.

Microcontroller Lead Time High Select and order microcontroller as soon as possible. Trouble programming microcontroller Med Work with company to get latest software and support. Other team’s delays prevent integration Low Test system with test fixture and flight testing with either OTS kit plane or previous year’s MAV platform.
