Abstract

In the paper we present development work on an electromagnetic launcher (EML) for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). The requirements of controlled take-off were shortly described and main advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used rubber and pneumatic launchers were enumerated. Concept, design and construction of the magnetic coil launcher were presented. The driving coils geometry determination with using the method, which was based on finite element method (FEM) and mechanical power analyses, was proposed. Finally, construction and assembling process of the device were described. In addition, the results of preliminary laboratory tests, control issues and controller target platform were mentioned.
