Relative navigation and control of a hexacopter
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2012 This paper discusses the progress made on developing a multi-rotor helicopter equipped with a vision-based ability to navigate through an a priori unknown, GPS-denied environment. We highlight the backbone of our system, the relative estimation and control.
