VDMNav: Software Architecture for Aerodynamically Constrained Navigation on Small Fixed-Wing Drones

Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré

Navigation of drones is predominantly based on sensor fusion algorithms. Most of these algorithms make use of some form of Bayesian filtering with a majority employing an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), wherein inertial measurements are fused with a Global N ...

VIMO: Simultaneous Visual Inertial Model-Based Odometry and Force Estimation

Davide Scaramuzza

In recent years, many approaches to visual-inertial odometry (VIO) have become available. However, they neither exploit the robot's dynamics and known actuation inputs, nor differentiate between the desired motion due to actuation and the unwanted perturba ...
