The Triangular Quadrotor: A More Efficient Quadrotor Configuration

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2015
We describe a new configuration of fixed-pitch miniature robot rotorcraft that combines the energetic efficiency of a helicopter and the mechanical simplicity of a quadrotor. The large power required to hover is proportional to the inverse of the rotor radius; thus, for a given diameter footprint, a single large rotor will energetically outperform ...

Following a quadrotor with another quadrotor using onboard vision

2013 European Conference on Mobile Robots, 2013
We consider a leader-following problem with two flying robots with different sensor configurations. The follower is equipped with a camera to detect the leader robot. The platforms are based on the low-cost Parrot AR. Drone quadrotor modified for on-board sensing and computing.

Construction with quadrotor teams

Autonomous Robots, 2012
We propose a new paradigm for construction in which teams of quadrotor helicopters assemble 2.5-D structures from simple structural nodes and members equipped with magnets. The structures, called Special Cubic Structures (SCS), are a class of 2.5-D truss-like structures free of overhangs and holes.

Quadrotor-Boundary and Quadrotor-Quadrotor Interactions: Analysis through Reduced-Order Simulations

2021
Quadrotors, a class of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, are gaining popularity across a variety of use cases. Many proposed applications require multiple UAVs to fly in close proximity to obstacles like surfaces or other drones, where the differences in the flowfield can disrupt the UAV’s flight path.
