Design and Optimization of a Samara-Inspired Lightweight Monocopter for Extended Endurance

ICRA 2026poster

Small multirotors demonstrate significant potential due to their simple airframe and human-friendly operation. However, the reduced size results in substantially higher energy consumption, which severely limits their flight endurance and restricts their range of applications. Ornithopters, while off…

An Efficient Iterated EKF-Based Direct Visual-Inertial Odometry for MAVs Using a Single Plane Primitive

RA-L 2021

This letter proposes an efficient visual-inertial estimator for aerial robots. The main contribution lies in the direct use of intensity measurements of the latest image frames and key frame via both continuous and regular homographic relations under an assumption of a single planar scene. The filte

Direct Visual-Inertial Ego-Motion Estimation Via Iterated Extended Kalman Filter

RA-L 2020

This letter proposes a reactive navigation strategy for recovering the altitude, translational velocity and orientation of Micro Aerial Vehicles. The main contribution lies in the direct and tight fusion of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measurements with monocular feedback under an assumption of a
