The international team, which is led by Martin Saska,  will compete with the worldwide best universities in the field of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) in two Challenges. The first is to autonomously localize a moving vehicle in the arena by a single MAV and then land on a landing platform carried by the vehicle. The second Challenge is to search the arena for various static and moving color objects, then pick them and move them to dedicated area.
