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

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

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
