Quad-Rotor Overview
2007 Overview of Quad-Rotor Vehicle
The Quad-Rotor is based of the X-ufo BL with X-3D system. The system has demonstrated proof-of-concept autonomous flight capabilities. The vehicle will hopefully demonstrate robust waypoint navigation with obstacle avoidance in the coming months. The CMU Field Robotics Center is leading the project under Sanjiv Singh. My responsibility on the project was the first integration of the embedded electronics and sensors.
