Abstract
The purpose of this study is to realize an autonomous robotic blimp. While this robot can pass over terrain that may be impossible for land-based robots to negotiate, it is hard to control autonomously because it is subjected to strong inertial forces and air resistance. We are now designing an autonomously controlled indoor blimp, which will be suitable for use in for inspections or monitoring tasks and as an amusement robot or guide robot.
