Abstract

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. The presented work is focused on GPS-denied autonomous navigation for multirotor platforms. The problem of safe navigation based on noisy odometry measurements is discussed, and experimentally tested on the case of on-board optical flow measurements. A navigation controller is proposed which allows, through a group of configurable parameters, to ensure that the vehicle will fly on a speed specified flight envelope where the quality of the optical flow measurements is guaranteed. In order to attain safe navigation, the multirotor is modeled as a flying vehicle with specific kinematic constraints. The designed unperfect odometry based controller architecture has been experimentally tested on various multirotor vehicles, where the vehicles featured similar sensoring capabilities and the tolerance of our approach have been demonstrated. This work was implemented to compete in the International Micro Air Vehicle Conference and Flight Competition IMAV 2012, gaining two awards: the Special Award on “Best Automatic Performance - IMAV 2012” and the second overall prize in the category of “Indoor Flight Dynamics - Rotary Wing MAV”. Most of the related code is available as two open-source projects hosted on GitHub.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-22:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 7.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 7 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 8.
