- Study of estimation and control problems for multirotor UAVs
- Experimental validation of new modelling, identification and control technologies
- Development of innovative multirotor platforms
The Fly-ART facility:
Indoor facility including 290m3 flight space covered by a 3D motion capture system (OptiTrack):
Can be used to prototype:
- New UAV concepts;
- New subsystems, e.g., guidance, navigation and control systems.
Both for single and formation flight for small UAVs
