  1. AAPS Automated Aero-Painting System Preliminary Design Review Advisors: Csaba Andras Moritz  Roderic Grupen Team Members: Adib Khozouee Chris Brennan Edmar Gonçalves Ejiroghene Urhiafe

  2. Background and Motivation • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) revolutionizing aviation technology • Do not require qualified pilot on board • Reduces exposure risk of the aircraft operator • Flight time of up to 30 hours, performing raster scan of a region, in darkness or fog, under computer control • Can enter environments that are dangerous to human life • Can be programmed to complete a mission autonomously • Automation reduces inspection and maintenance costs, and improves flight readiness Source: http://www.uavs.org/advantages ECE Department, UMass Amherst, Fall 2011

  3. Background and Motivation (cont’d) UAV usage: • Military operations • Espionage • Sabotage • Combat • Agriculture: spray fertilizer and pesticide over large fields • NASA’s planetary science planning on using UAVs for space missions • Weather research • Coast watch • Search and rescue • Hobbyist activities • Newest application: Painting ECE Department, UMass Amherst, Fall 2011

  4. Challenge and Requirements • UAV automation reliability • Prioritize potential concerns and take preemptive action • Make real time decisions based on input sensors • Communicate with base processing unit • Adjust flight goals to functional and environmental limitations • Graffiti Copter system • Flight guidance • Painting surface recognition • Feedback on its functional state • Assess task performance ECE Department, UMass Amherst, Fall 2011
