Comprehensive introduction to robotic aircraft. Examine rotorcraft dynamics modeling, feedback control, sensing, state estimation, path planning, machine vision, and decision-making under uncertainty. Design an automation protocol, written in C++, that commands a squad of quadcopters competing in a game. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours a week for one semester. Aerospace Engineering 379L (Topic: Aerial Robotics) and 479W may not both be counted. Prerequisite: Aerospace Engineering 330M with a grade of at least C-.
