2016 Mission 7 Vehicle

Team Mission

“Mission 7 will challenge teams to demonstrate three new behaviors that have never been attempted in any of the past six IARC missions. First, "interaction between aerial robots and moving objects(specifically, autonomous ground robots). Second, navigation in a sterile environment with no external navigation aids such as GPS or large stationary points of reference such as walls. Third, interaction between competing autonomous air vehicles”.
