How can we create agile micro aerial vehicles that are able to operate autonomously in cluttered indoor and outdoor environments? You will gain an introduction to the mechanics of flight and the design of quadrotor flying robots and will be able to develop dynamic models, derive controllers, and synthesize planners for operating in three dimensional environments. You will be exposed to the challenges of using noisy sensors for localization and maneuvering in complex, three-dimensional environments. Finally, you will gain insights through seeing real world examples of the possible applications and challenges for the rapidly-growing drone industry.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ROBOTICS: AERIAL ROBOTICS
It is a really good course, full of interesting topics. The teacher is very good and the TA also very good. Learned a lot and an introduction to further learning. Appreciate it.
Well balanced mix of theory and practical applicability. Explanation of the material is also very good.
The assignments are nicely built on the taught material to stimulate understanding.
Good contents! However, the lectures are long and a bit rushed. This course is definitely not for everyone! Assignment for week 3 definitely need an extra lecture to explain to do PID tuning.
Great class with lots of wonderful information!
I just wish the homeworks were less of a tedious exercise of controller tuning and more about implementing theory. Other than that, great course!
