QuadRotor Hallway Following
Date: April 7, 2008
Description: The QuadRotor Helicopter uses an Optic Flow Sensor to estimate its inertial frame velocities. This enables it to hold position well and follow a hallway.
File Size: 36 Mb
Length: 2:20 |
QuadRotor Hover School Record Using
Optc Flow Sensor
Date: 28 Feb 2008
Description:This is quite possibly the most boring video on the MAGICC lab website, but it's exciting to see the quadrotor hover reliably for almost the entire extent of the battery life. The optic flow sensor returns reliable position and velocity estimates which are used for position hold.

Length: 7:04 min |
QuadRotor Yaw Control Using
Onboard Vision
Date: 28 Feb 2008
Description: The gumstix processor detects yaw and pitch angles using image processing of the vanishing point down the hallway and uses this to stabilize the yaw angle of the quadrotor.

Tailsitter Adaptive Altitude Controller
Date: July 2007
Description: This video demonstrates an adaptive altitude controller using online system identification to model thrust system parameters. The VTOL takes off vertically, climbs to 15 m, then descends to 10 m, and finally to ground level.

Tailsitter Adaptive Quaternion Control
Waypoint Navigation
Date: July 2007
Description: Using online system identification of aerodynamic parameters an adaptive quaternion controller makes attitude corrections for waypoint navigation in both hover and level flight. The VTOL takes off from the ground vertically, transitions to level flight, navigates to two level flight waypoints, transitions to hover, and lands
