Robotic unmanned blimps own an enormous potential for applications in low-speed and low-altitude exploration, surveillance, and monitoring, as well as telecommunication relay platforms. To make lighter-than-air platform a robotic blimp with significant levels of autonomy, the decoupled longitude and latitude dynamic model is developed, and the hardware and software of the flight control system are designed and detailed. Flight control and navigation strategy and algorithms for waypoint flight problem are discussed. A result of flight experiment is also presented, which validates that the flight control system is applicable and initial machine intelligence of robotic blimp is achieved.
