Summary: This paper presents and describes an innovative cooperative symbiotic robotic system based in two types of unmanned air vehicles: A lenticular shaped airship that allows 3D omnidirectional movements with a big top area for solar energy harvesting and a group of micro-quad rotors using micro electric ducted fans. The solution presented could be used in missions as environmental, biodiversity monitoring, WiSAR missions, road monitoring, detection of forest fires, etc.
