Autonomous Quadcopter Abuse
Watch as these autonomous copters take some beach ball abuse and keep flying.
“The Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control (STARMAC) is a multi vehicle test bed used to demonstrate new concepts in multi-agent control on a real-world platform. STARMAC consists of six quadrotor vehicles that autonomously track a given waypoint trajectory, and perform higher level optimal control strategies online. In order to make such a testbed easy to use, we focused on a small and light, lowcost design, which presented numerous opportunities for innovative work.”
“The resulting vehicles can fly safely in both indoor and outdoor environments, can carry computing and sensing resources sufficient for autonomous operation and perception, and have simple, reconfigurable construction with low maintenance requirements.”
