Competitions’ Rulebook for IMAV 2025 <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The IMAV competitions are divided into indoor and outdoor categories. Both categories present challenges that seek to push the boundaries of the technology of micro air vehicles. Competitors are expected to present novel hardware and software designs, including aerodynamic designs, a novel set of sensors, and exemplar capabilities such as flight endurance, agile flight, autonomous flight, intelligent behavior, and swarming coordination. In addition, two special challenges are introduced this year, one for each category. For indoors, the Noise-Free Challenge, and for outdoors, it is the Surveillance Challenge. Teams who address these challenges more effectively will receive a special award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the competition theme is \u201cSearch and Rescue.\u201d<\/strong> This is motivated by the fact that Mexico sits at the boundary of three tectonic plates, causing frequent seismic activity. In September of 1985 and September 2017, strong earthquakes caused severe damage to the capital, Mexico City, and some neighboring cities. In the aftermath, buildings collapsed, trapping people and creating disaster zones whose access became difficult to bring aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the scenario described above, IMAV 2025 presents a series of challenges in which micro air vehicles play a vital role in victim search, rapid access, aerial assessment of disaster zones, and the delivery of aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, teams are expected to present novel ideas, prototypes, and solutions aiming at paving the way for the next generation of micro air vehicles that can be deployed in real disaster scenarios such as the ones mentioned before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
