A Map-Free Deep Learning-Based Framework for Gate-to-Gate Monocular Visual Navigation Aboard Miniaturized Aerial Vehicles

Palm-sized autonomous nano-drones, i.e., sub-50 g in weight, recently entered the drone racing scenario, where they are tasked to avoid obstacles and navigate as fast as possible through gates. However, in contrast with their bigger counterparts, i.e., kg-scale drones, nano-drones expose three order
