Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to perform collecting disaster information, investigation of corrupted building safety and inexpensively in place of human. A quad tiltrotor UAV would be useful to carry out such missions because of high mobility compared to the conventional UAV, such that it can control position and attitude independently by changing the directions of propellers. However , there is not so many research to use the quad tilt-rotor UAV in real environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a collision avoidance flight system of quad tilt-rotor UAV using two-dimensional laser range finder. Semi-autonomous collision avoidance flight system in narrow space is developed and flight experiment is carried out to validate the efficiency of the proposed system.
