One of the greatest advantages of the RotorS simulator is that it comes with a fully integrated and functional trajectory tracking controller. This motivates us to implement higher-level tasks such as collision avoidance and path planning without having to implement state estimation and the controller first. Additionally, in simulation, we also have access to perfect ground truth, which is usually hard to get on real systems.
Autonomous navigation framework for an MAV/Drone
Getting ready
Overall, we have the required setup and resources to experiment and develop a comprehensive autonomous navigation framework for any MAV. Once we have a working solution in a simulation, transitioning to real world systems is typically an engineering...
