Trajectory generation and control for precise aggressive maneuvers with quadrotors (2012, methodology): “Each controller is tuned automatically to obtain the desired performance using a combination of off-line system identiﬁcation techniques and on-line parameter identiﬁcation techniques (Landau et al. 1998; Mellinger et al. 2011).”
Opportunities and challenges with autonomous micro aerial vehicles (2012, methodology): “A simple linear least-squares method can be used to estimate the unknown parameters as shown by Mellinger et al. (2011) either in a batch or in a recursive algorithm provided that the dynamics are persistently excited.”
