MAVs and Bio-inspired UAVs addresses the emerging UAV area of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) and bio-inspired MAVs and UAVs. Research and development activities in MAVs have accelerated significantly over the past years, driven by a need for small autonomous vehicles that can execute a variety of tasks, such as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) in complex urban environments, search and rescue operations, and security and border patrol, among other applications. A substantial component of the MAV research is inspired by the exceptional flying behaviors of biological species, i.e., birds and insects. MAVs can be operated by a single person offering low weight and cost, extreme maneuvering capabilities, and rapid response times to requests for visual observations. Innovative MAV concepts are motivating advanced research and development sponsored by the government and industry.
