Indoor Flight Demonstration Results of an Autonomous Multi-copter using Multiple Laser Inertial Navigation

Adam Schultz, Russell Gilabert, Maarten Uijt de Haag

Abstract:	This paper discusses the various aspects of autonomy on a small-size multi-copter UAS for the challenging environments identified, as well as address in detail the modified proposed navigation algorithm, its integration with the flight controller for autonomous flight and the actual implementation on the multi-copter platform. Furthermore, the paper will include flight test results of our multi-copter UAS operating in an outdoor/indoor environment. In addition to these discussions, the paper will show some navigation and mapping performance results.
