This paper presents the design of an Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) filter for improved navigation performance of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). The paper considers a navigation system that incorporates rotor drag dynamics and proposes a strategy to overcome the sensitivity of the system to externa…
This study performs a nonlinear observability analysis on range assisted inertial navigation system (INS) for quadrotor micro-aerial vehicles (MAV). The INS is formulated incorporating the quadrotor dynamics with aerodynamic drag forces. The observability analysis is carried out for cases where thre…
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach of reducing the communication load in distributed model predictive control (DMPC) for mobile robots. The key idea is to project the predicted state trajectory onto a grid resulting in an occupancy grid prediction. This approach has the advantage of utiliz…
