The Navigation and Control Technology Inside the AR.Drone Micro UAV

Authors: Pierre-Jean Bristeau, François Callou, David Vissière, Nicolas Petit, 18th IFAC World Congress, pp. 1477-1484, August 28 - September 2011, Milano, Italy, DOI: 10.3182/20110828-6-IT-1002.02327
This paper exposes the Navigation and Control technology embedded in a recently commercialized micro Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), the AR.Drone, which cost and performance are unprecedented among any commercial product for mass markets. The system relies on state-of-the-art indoor navigation systems combining low-cost inertial sensors, computer vision techniques, sonar, and accounting for aerodynamics models.
