报告内容简介：Quadrotors 是一种小型的的、轻量级的、人工启动的自治飞行器。由于电池能量限制，它们不能长期飞行，但是它们可以在封闭和密闭空间持续飞行一小段时间。它们在使用的灵活性上表现突出，能够达到无法接近的危险区域，以收集有价值的信息，例如监视污染，追踪犯罪目标，探测核事故，跟踪化工材料，监视生态环境，进行军事侦察和监视。在这次报告中，我们以运动学和动力学模型作为研究基础，探究一些控制策略，引入视觉惯性定位方法，最后展示它们的应用潜力。

TITLE：Quadrotor Control, Navigation and Applications
ABSTRACT：Quadrotors are small-sized, lightweight, and hand-launched autonomous
aerial vehicles. Although they cannot fly for a long period, due to battery limitations, they are able to fly in enclosed and confined spaces for short periods of time. They have the potential to demonstrate a resilient behaviour over an area inaccessible or hostile to human personnel in order to gather valuable information. The potential real-world applications include monitoring pollution, tracking crime targets, detecting nuclear incidents, tracing chemical materials, monitoring ecological conditions, conducting military reconnaissance and surveillance. In this talk, we will start from kinematic and dynamic models, present some control strategies, introduce visual inertial localization approaches, and finally demonstrate their potential applications.
