HIDE Topics	Technology Convergence, System Interoperability
Name	Swarm of micro flying robots
Acronym	SFLY
Area	ICT-2007.2.2 Cognitive systems, interaction, robotics (ICT-2007.2.2)
Start Date	2009-01-01
Duration	36 months
Status	Execution
Description	Autonomous micro helicopters are about to play major roles in tasks like reconnaissance for search and rescue, environment monitoring, security surveillance, inspection, law enforcement, etc. The ability to fly allows easily avoiding obstacles on the ground and to have an excellent bird's eye view. Therefore flying robots are the logical heir of ground based mobile robots. Its navigational and hovering advantages make them the ideal platform for exploration, mapping and monitoring tasks. If they are further realized in small scale, they can also be used in narrow out- and indoor environment and they represent only a limited risk for the environment and people living in it. However, for such operations today's systems navigating on GPS information only are not sufficient any more.
