This blog post contains photos and small descriptions of UAV projects, presented at MAKS-2011. Mainly, teams use commercial autopilots, however some of them had very nice their own built systems.
However, the prices are sufficently high, usually starts from $30,000. I had a talk with representatives of a few different projects and almost all of them said that clients usually prefer to get service (aerial photography or video) rather than buy UAV. Anyway, here is a small photo report:
Guys develop multirotors of different sizes and types based on MikroKopter system
Tiny quadcopter
Really tiny...
This one has even weapons
UAV for aerial photography
This project I liked more than others
Aerial photography mission planning
And very cool multifunctional ground station! We definitely need to make something like this for APM :)

Yes Kirill. Thanks for posting. I wish I can visit few of these. Have fun, and post please where ever you can.
I think so, Morli. It's a good way to be known what's going on in UAVs world. I make such blog posts about every similar events I visit.
thanks kirill. We need more of such photo blogs to keep the juices flowing
Alexander, I tried to find it there but couldn't. I have already seen it at UVS-2011, which was in March.
Great Kirill!!!! ;)
Siberean Federal Institute seems to make cool things. And there is something for a chute also written on the display :-)
