Abstract
We describe the modeling, estimation and control of a quadrotor in 3D environment using the 3DR Pixhawk PX4 as controller through Robot Operating System(ROS) The paper discusses a method to measure moment of inertia of quadrotor about its principal axes to achieve better results in an inexpensive way We also present the trajectory generation and segment optimization of the trajectory commanded to the quadrotor We describe a method of controlling the quadrotor through ROS by providing necessary inputs to the flight controller using the built-in firmware

Vision-Based State Estimation and Trajectory Control Towards High-Speed Flight with a Quadrotor

TL;DR: A fully-functional, integrated system with a focus on robust visual-inertial state estimation is described, and the quadrotor’s ability to autonomously travel at speeds up to 4 m/s and roll and pitch angles exceeding 20◦ is demonstrated.

A mode-switching path planner for UAV-assisted search and rescue

TL;DR: A feasible path planning algorithm combined with an off the shelf autopilot system is proposed and it is shown that any execution of the system causes the series {L(k)} to converge to zero, thereby resulting in satisfactory tracking.
