            Abstract : 
A large number of studies on small flying robots have been carried out. Flying robots need to land on specific heliports, thus necessitating the search for specific heliports. This paper reports a method for searching a heliport, in which data from an onboard camera and an ultrasonic sensor are processed using an onboard Raspberry Pi unit.
