	abstract = {Unmanned Aerial Vehicles represent today an advanced and complex robotics platform for novel tasks. For example, UAVs can be used in applications for traffic monitoring and surveillance, emergency services assistance, photogrammetry and surveying. Generally, an UAV must be fully autonomous; autonomy is accomplished by a complex interconnection of systems related to a wide range of topics, e.g., flight low level control, navigation and task-based planning, elaboration of sensor signals, software architecture for reactive behaviours, communication. Today the challenge is the ability to insert UAVs in a cooperative network based on autonomous agents as UAV, UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) to accomplish a specific task a priori defined. In this paper we introduce a prototype of autonomous aerial vehicle, the Helibot helicopter, specifically designed for applications as surveillance and security.

	abstract = {Today small autonomous helicopters offer a low budget platform for aerial applications such as surveillance (both military and civil), land management and earth sciences. In this paper we introduce a prototype of autonomous aerial vehicle, the Helibot helicopter, specifically designed for applications in cooperative networks. Fundamental steps in the design process of an UAV are shown. We also present work in progress in the field of failure detection and a novel idea to the problem of failure recovery using a terrain vision system. {\textcopyright}2007 IEEE.},
