Summary
Aura Jr was a small UAV for short-range missions. This was the first UAV developed at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. This was a prototype built as a technology demonstrator for the project “Research and Design of an Automatic Remote Inspection System for Electric Power Transmission Lines” (2004-2005) sponsored by Interconectado Eléctrica SA (ISA), Colciencias and Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. It was the starting point of the project “Development of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial system for short-range missions – Aura Jr” (2007 – 2009).
