Stability and control of a quadrocopter despite the complete loss of one, two, or three propellers (2014, methodology): “The work was validated using quadrocopters based on the Ascending Technologies Hummingbird [24], in the Flying Machine Arena [25], which will be referred to here simply as “the quadrocopter”.”
Opportunities and challenges with autonomous micro aerial vehicles (2012, methodology): “Our focus in this paper is mainly on the autonomy of UAVs that have gross weights of the order of 1 kg and below, although it is difficult to limit the discussion only to autonomy since platform development represents a challenge in its own right (Mettler, 2001; Pines and Bohorquez, 2006; Bouabdalla”
Trajectory generation and control for precise aggressive maneuvers with quadrotors (2012, background): “In particular, there has been extensive work on multi-rotor aircrafts, with many recent advances in the design (Gurdan et al. 2007), control (Bouabdallah 2007; Lupashin et al. 2010) and planning (He et al. 2010) for quadrotors.”
The Flight Assembled Architecture installation: Cooperative construction with flying machines (2014, unknown): “technologies hummingbird platform described in [26]), specialized”
The role of propeller aerodynamics in the model of a quadrotor UAV (2009, background): “It has been the subject of several studies [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].”
Minimum snap trajectory generation and control for quadrotors (2011, background): “In particular, there has been extensive work on multirotor aircrafts, with many recent advances in the design [ 2 ], control [3] and planning [4] for quadrotors, rotorcrafts with four rotors.”
Relaxed hover solutions for multicopters: Application to algorithmic redundancy and novel vehicles (2016, methodology): “The work is validated using quadrocopters based on the Ascending Technologies Hummingbird (Gurdan et al., 2007), in the Flying Machine Arena (Lupashin et al., 2014), which will be referred to here simply as ‘‘the quadrocopter.’’”
Mixed-integer quadratic program trajectory generation for heterogeneous quadrotor teams (2012, background): “In particular, there have been many recent advances in the design [6], control [9] and planning [7] for quadrotors, rotorcrafts with four rotors.”
Cooperative Grasping and Transport Using Multiple Quadrotors (2010, methodology): “This approach is similar to that used for individual quadrotors in [10–12].”
Onboard IMU and monocular vision based control for MAVs in unknown in- and outdoor environments (2011, methodology): “For our experiments, we use the “AscTec Pelican” quadrocopter [1], which is a further development of the one described in [20].”
Advanced closed loop visual navigation for micro aerial vehicles (2014, methodology): “The proposed method aligns with the studies of Hamel and Mahony (2002) on the dynamics of visual features and their optical flow on a spherical camera setup, which was employed and evaluated in simulations within an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) framework by Omari and Ducard (2013). The main idea is”
Autonomous flight in unstructured and unknown indoor environments (2009, methodology): “The AscTec Hummingbird helicopter is equipped with attitude stabilization, using an onboard IMU and processor to stabilize the helicopter’s pitch and roll [20].”
The GRASP Multiple Micro-UAV Testbed (2010, background): “This is similar to the approach described in [5].”
