Spanish Project To Introduce Drones at Airbus Plant
Spain’s Center for Advanced Aerospace Technologies and the University of Seville lead project under European Robotics Challenges effort.
A drone like this one from Ascending Technologies, now owned by Intel, was used at an indoor obstacle course to develop trajectory planning and collision-avoidance algorithms.

Researchers with Spain’s Center for Advanced Aerospace Technologies (CATEC), the University of Seville and Airbus will test the use of a small multi-rotor drone to perform tasks in an aerospace manufacturing plant under the European Robotics Challenges (EuRoC). The university-led Group on Robotics, Vision and Control (GRVC) and CATEC represent one of two teams selected to advance to the third stage of the challenge, which calls for starting a pilot program in an actual factory.
