Introduction to Multicopter Design and Control (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first textbook specially on multicopter systems in the world. It provides a comprehensive overview of multicopter systems, rather than focusing on a single method or technique. The fifteen chapters are divided into five parts, covering the topics of multicopter design, modeling, state estimation, control, and decision-making. It differs from other books in the field in three major respects: it is basic and practical, offering self-contained content and presenting hands-on methods; it is comprehensive and systematic; and it is timely. It is also closely related to the autopilot that users often employ today and provides insights into the code employed. As such, it offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in multicopters, including students, teachers, researchers, and engineers.

Autorenporträt

Quan Quan received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics), China in 2004 and 2010, respectively. He has been an associate professor at Beihang University since 2013. He is also the director of reliable flight control group at Beihang University. His main research interests include vision-based navigation and reliable flight control. To date he has published 37 peer-reviewed journal papers and 20 conference papers, including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Mechatronics, Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Reliability and AIAA Transactions on Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics. In addition, he has launched a design evaluation web for small aircraft.

Rezensionen

"The book has sprung out of a course taught by the author at Beihang University as well as some of his research in the area. ... Multicoptor design and build provide an ideal such project. Hence, this text, aimed at undergraduates, is a timely addition to many reading lists." (James Whidborne, The Aeronautical Journal, Vol. 122 (1258), December, 2018)
