Abstract :
The International Aerial Robotics Competition requires flying robots to locate and manipulate objects and transport them from one location to another. The robots must perform these tasks under hazardous conditions, without human guidance, and within a fixed time limit. A first place finisher illustrates the advantages of hierarchical, behavior based control, with low level behaviors ensuring craft survival and high level behaviors performing tasks such as navigation and object location
