Introduction

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are the smallest man-made flying machines. They are flying robots and have the weight and size of small birds. Innovation in navigation, control and processing technology has made this possible.

There are still numerous scientific challenges to be solved in order to fly Micro Air Vehicles under all flight and weather conditions. The development of miniaturized structures, propulsion and navigation systems, aerodynamics, flight controllers, actuators and sensors are just a few of the current research topics in the field of MAVs.

The annual european EMAV is integral part of IMAV 2010. As before IMAV 2010 includes an indoor and outdoor flight competition of MAVs and will be held in Braunschweig, Germany from 06 - 09 July 2010 again.

The conference shall serve as a platform to exchange information on the state-of-the-art of MAVs. Thus, the German Institute of Navigation cordially invites everyone from Science, Industry, Military, Government Agencies and Users to participate in this conference.
