xed-winged aircraft and unmanned helicopters, have increased instead of the manned aircraft. It is expected that the UAVs are useful for aerial image acquisition, monitoring of high places and so on. Especially small unmanned helicopters can fly and hover in the narrow space. And small UAVs have characteristics of portable and small risk of harm. Therefore, in AIST, the small unmanned helicopter system is being developed. This time, in order to control the small unmanned helicopter remotely, the small unmanned helicopter equipped with a small and lightweight on-board camera was developed experimentally. The on-board camera make it possible to look forward and pilot the helicopter remotely. In this paper, the outline of the small unmanned helicopter system equipped with a small on-board camera and the experimental flight of the remote-piloted helicopter using an on-board camera are described.
