Introduction to Aerial Robotics (sample)

Reference sample. This example uses material from Dr. Kostas Alexis's website archive to demonstrate this section.

This example introduces the main components of an autonomous aerial robot and connects theoretical models with practical simulation and student project work.

Course topics

  1. Flight dynamics and vehicle modeling.
  2. State estimation and sensor fusion.
  3. Flight control and stability.
  4. Motion planning and autonomous navigation.
  5. A multirotor case study and semester project.

The archived course syllabus is available below as a downloadable PDF.
