The primary purpose of the IARC is to move the state-of-the-art in aerial robotics forward through the creation of significant and useful mission challenges that are considered 'impossible' at the time that they are proposed. The IARC is not a "spectator sport," but rather a "technology sport." Numerous teams have demonstrated systems that have been of interest to industry and government, leading to sponsorship and contract opportunities.
The current MISSION 9 challenges teams to demonstrate new behaviors, some of which are extensions of past missions and some that have never before been attempted in any past IARC mission. These include:
- Precision manipulation of large objects (NEW)
- Fast outdoor operations over long distance (extension of MISSION 4)
- Interaction with moving frames of reference (extension of MISSION 7)
- Aerial robotic repair of mobile platforms (NEW)
- Optical recognition (extension of MISSIONS 5, 6, 8)
- Using ONLY onboard computing (NEW)

Eligibility:
University students across the world.
Teams must be based at a university and must have an identified academic faculty advisor. Only one team per university unit is allowed to compete, and each team must have uniquely-developed aerial robotic hardware (no sharing of aerial robots).
Teams may be comprised of a combination of students, faculty, industrial partners, or government partners. Students may be undergraduate and/or graduate students.
Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged (EE, AE, ME, etc.). Members from industry, government agencies (or universities, in the case of faculty) may participate, however full-time students must be associated with each team. The student members of a joint team must make significant contributions to the development of their entry. Only the student component of each team will be eligible for the cash awards.
Since Mission 9 of the International Aerial Robotics Competition will run until the mission is complete, anyone who is enrolled in a college or university as a full-time student (as defined by their university) any time during or after the calendar year that the team originally made application for Mission 9, is qualified to be a “student” team member.
Registration Opens: January 1, 1970
Registration Closes: June 1, 2020
