In the past few decades, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become promising mobile
platforms capable of navigating semiautonomously or autonomously in uncertain …

Abstract The Flying Machine Arena is a platform for experiments and demonstrations with
fleets of small flying vehicles. It utilizes a distributed, modular architecture linked by robust …

This paper presents a multiagent path planning algorithm based on sequential convex
programming (SCP) that finds locally optimal trajectories. Previous work using SCP …

This paper explores the use of drones for entertainment with the emerging technology of
AVR (Augmented and Virtual Reality) over the past 10 years from 2006 to 2016. Drones …

This chapter reviews an approach for generating rhythmic flight motions that are executed by
quadrocopters and timed to music. It represents a research and artistic experiment, which …

In this paper, we present a problem where a suspended load, carried by a rotorcraft aerial
robot, performs trajectory tracking. We want to accomplish this by specifying the reference …

We propose a new method to control a multi-rotor aerial vehicle. We show that the system
dynamics are differentially flat. We utilize the differential flatness of the system to provide a …

The Flying Machine Arena (FMA) is an indoor research space built specifically for the study
of autonomous systems and aerial robotics. In this video, we give an overview of this testbed …

The goal of the CARUS 1 project is to demonstrate the effective operation of a swarm of
UAVs. The objective is to keep under surveillance a given set of points of interest where …

This paper describes a method for checking the feasibility of quadrocopter motions. The
approach, meant as a validation tool for preprogrammed quadrocopter performances, is …
