From Monocular SLAM to Autonomous Drone Exploration

open access: yes, 2017
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are strongly limited in their payload and power capacity. In order to implement autonomous navigation, algorithms are therefore desirable that use sensory equipment that is as small, low-weight, and low-power consuming as ...

Design and experimental research of a quadrocopter flying robot

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle. Currently, many commercially available remote controlled flying toys are used to be called drones. This is an erroneous nomenclature, because the drone must have an autonomus flight function implemented. Due to it'

Research Article Evaluation of different signal propagation models for a mixed indoor-outdoor scenario using empirical data

open access: yesEAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications, 2016
In this paper, we are choosing a suitable indoor-outdoor propagation model out of the existing models by considering path loss and distance as parameters. A path loss is calculated empirically by placing emitter nodes inside a building. A receiver placed

Quadrocopter Control Design and Flight Operation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A limiting factor in control system design and analysis for spacecraft is the inability to physically test new algorithms quickly and cheaply. Test flights of space vehicles are costly and take much preparation.
