"Hi William and hi all,
I think you can get even more accurate results using a similar strategy but working in the Frequency Domain. Here is what you can do (without so much effort):
1. Conduct experiments where you give inputs that correspond to a…"

An almost identical approach. "

I have experimentally implemented MPC in Quadrotors. You are right about the computational complexity but this is something that can be accomplished using model embedded CPUs.

kostalexis commented on James Goppert's blog post Quadrotor Digital PID Control System and Dynamics Modelling"Well you could optimally select the different linearization points and guarantee smooth transition through Linear Matrix Inequality optimization. I have worked on something similar using Model Predictive Control on Quadrotors. I will check your code…"
kostalexis commented on James Goppert's blog post Quadrotor Digital PID Control System and Dynamics Modelling"LQG is a linear controller and assumes that all states can be estimated through a LINEAR observer. On the contrary all quadrotors (and MAVs genearally) use Nonlinear Kalman Filters (mainly EKF). So do you think that designing - experimentally…"
kostalexis commented on Papachristos Chr's blog post Cmon Guys, it's like no one has seen this yet??? It's time to KINECT!"Wow this is amazing!
It gives the opportunity of cheap and off - the - shelf indoor navigation, surveillance and mapping! Great work!"
kostalexis commented on kostalexis's blog post Wireless sensor network control Drones?"So we can conclude that there is a meaning on this approach. Let's go a step ahead. What type of MAV do you think is the most appropriate? What type of rotorcraft? With what sensors and based on what MCU?"
Martin Seven commented on kostalexis's blog post Wireless sensor network control Drones?"Yeah, many big-budget military MAVs implement some kind of flocking/swarming behavior."

Wireless sensor network control Drones?

Hello to community!
It is a great fact that UAVs tend to miniaturization. Despite the high technology advances on microprocessors and embedded systems it is clear that only simple control laws can be implemented into Miniature Autonomous Vehicles. Note that i am not talking for rf manned control but for fully autonomous solutions. So what about Wireless Sensor Network control for Drones? It is an idea implemented widely in ground robots. The main approach is to implement on-board only… Continue

Interfacing MATLAB and Arduino

Hi friends!
I have just found and tested a Blockset that interfaces MATLAB/SIMULINK and Arduino. You may find this at:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24675-arduino-target
I highly suggest this program since it offers rapid prototyping capabilities to the famous and cheap arduino. The guys have build a block that interfaces with the Real Time Workshop of… Continue
