The AKAMAV is a student workgroup at the Technische Universität Braunschweig.

Our goal is the development of an autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Concept, construction and building are done by students.

These kinds of MAVs are able to carry small cameras or sensors, which give them the ability for lots of applications. In near future such equipped MAVs will be used for data acquisition, disaster management, traffic management, observation of long range infrastructures like gas pipelines and generally ranges, which require a fast elucidation in for humans non-accessible areas.

1. place Spring IMAV 2011

With our self-developed airship we entered the Spring IMAV 2011 in Huntsville [Alabama, USA] and took the 1. place in the Overall and Indoor Competition. As first and only team we had been able to solve all tasks in the Indoor Autonmy part and reached so the maximum count of points. (report is available in German at tu-braunschweig.de and also in German the official travel report of the team)

The AKAMAV is thankful to all sponsors for their support.
