We describe a novel technique for increasing the minimum separation between two aircraft by using a constant acceleration based speed change. The technique predicts the required acceleration each aircraft should execute in order to obtain a safe separation-while accounting for each aircraft's accele
Trajectory tracking of micro UAVs requires accurate thrust and velocity estimates. High-quality motion control of quadrotors typically employs accurate high-speed optical sensing indoors. However, these measurements are not available outdoors, and GPS is unreliable and inadequate for performance mot
Quadrotors flying close to the ground experience a force resisting their descent known as ground effect. In this letter, we use ground effect to provide passive position stability of a quadrotor. We analyze stability of a quadrotor with canted rotors flying in a sloped ground channel. Flying a 200 g
