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 community members 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 November 15th -19th 2021.
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 in 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 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://imav2021.inaoep.mx/Authors are encouraged to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
