HAWK - a mini-Helicopter-based Aerial Wireless Kit

Story of this Movie

HAWK - mini Helicopter-based Aerial Wireless Kit to search for
a smartphone and catch the flag.

Only landing is manually controlled by the hand-held controller.
Software controller steers HAWK for autonomous takeoff and fly
searching for a mobile phone, which is flagged for being easy to
spot. The picture in picture at the low left corner is taken by the
on-board Nokia n900. The other picture in picture is the flight
route displayed in our control program.

At the end, you will see that we successfully localized the
smartphone and "caught the flag". You can also enjoy our human
assisted landing technique for windy weather :).

HAWK can be used for search, rescue and surveillance.
