Robot State Estimation

Micro aerial vehicles have gained significant attention in the last decade both in academia and industry, mostly due to their potential use in a wide range of applications such as exploration [46], inspection [52], mapping, interaction with the environment [7, 44], search and rescue [27], and to their significant mechanical simplicity and ease of control. Moreover, their ability to operate in confined spaces, hover in space and even perch, together with a decrease in cost make them very attractive with tremendous potential as UAM flying platforms.
