For 2020, IARC is changing missions. Mission 9 is designed to challenge the bounds of what is currently possible in aerial robotics. For this mission, teams will have to demonstrate the following capabilities:
-
Precision manipulation of large objects
-
Fast outdoor operations over a long distance
-
Interaction with moving frames of reference
-
Aerial robotic repair of mobile platforms
-
Optical recognition
-
Using ONLY onboard computing (NEW)
Mission 9 Objectives
Our drone will have to fly approximately 2 miles away from the starting location, around pylons, and to a mast simulating the movement of a ship at sea. Once there, the drone has to become synchronized with the mast in order to remove a "defective communications module" attached to the mast, and then replace it with a good module. Lastly, it must return to the starting location having completed the task in under 9 minutes!
