Quadrotor System

Quadrotor systems, or drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles whose flight is controlled by four rotors, and current research focuses on improving their robustness, autonomy, and versatility. Active research areas include developing more accurate and adaptable control algorithms, often leveraging machine learning techniques like diffusion models and neural networks (including LSTMs) to handle uncertainties and disturbances such as wind and payload variations, as well as improving trajectory planning to account for factors like drag. These advancements are crucial for expanding the safe and reliable use of quadrotors in diverse applications, from package delivery to search and rescue operations, and are driving the development of standardized, open-source hardware and software platforms for research and development.
