International Aerial Robotics Competition
This video describes the 6th Mission of the International Aerial Robotics Competition which began in 2010. The 6th Mission involves the use of micro air vehicles ( MAV ) to find and steal a zip drive containing sensitive information, and replace it with an identical drive before leaving the building undetected. All of this must be done fully autonomously. A $20,000 prize will be awarded during 2011 if any team can demonstrate this aerial robotic behaviour in under 10 minutes.
