The International Micro Air Vehicle Conference and Competition (IMAV) is a yearly event that aims at fostering key technologies for the development of micro-air vehicles. Since early editions, the IMAV has offered a pioneer event format where competitions are carried out alongside a two-day conference. Highly recognized members of the community are invited to deliver keynotes, while academics are invited to submit research and technical papers. After a peer-reviewed process, accepted papers are presented during the conference.

This edition of the IMAV will be held in the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) located in the city of San Andres Cholula, in the State of Puebla, México. The conference will take place on the 19th and 20th of November, 2020. 

Topics for scientific and technical papers include, but not are limited to

  • Low Reynolds number aerodynamics
  • Unsteady aerodynamics
  • Smart morphing materials
  • Propulsion set and new energy sources
  • Autonomous navigation
  • Autonomous drone racing
  • Cooperation and formation flight
  • Control theory and state estimation
  • Computer vision for MAVs
  • Sense & avoid
  • Integration of UAVs in airspace
  • Reconfiguration in unpredicted events
  • New MAV architectures
  • Characterization of noise emission for MAVs
  • Low noise and noise mitigation

Dedicated applicative sessions will be set up for the following topics:

  • Atmospheric research
  • Archeological research
  • Search and rescue operations
  • Industrial inspection
  • Agriculture & environment
  • Artificial intelligence for MAVs
  • Ethics & regulations
  • Social impact of MAVs

Submission Guidelines

Authors are encouraged to present research related to MAVs, from fundamental knowledge in disciplinary topics to cross-disciplinary technological innovation and the use of MAVs to other research fields. Dedicated applicative sessions will be set up.

Scientific and technical sessions will be organized. The authors will have 20 minutes to present their work, respectively. Technical papers and Scientific papers should have a minimum of 6 pages. 2 extra pages will be allowed for a maximum number of 8 pages. 

Authors must use the conference template, which can be downloaded from the conference website at: http://imav2020.inaoep.mx/
