Abstract :
Large scale outdoor robotic systems call for a supporting software environment during the phases of their development and operation. In this article we describe the support infrastructure designed for Project AURORA´s robotic airship. This includes tools for pilot training, for design and test of control and navigation methods, for airship visualization, and for information sharing over the Internet
