Our latest work on real-time, monocular pose estimation based on infrared LEDs, which we will present at ICRA. In this video, a ground robot tracks and autonomously controls a quadrotor flying on the top of it by mantaining robust position lock through infrared LED tracking. The system works also in completely dark environments, both indoors and outdoors. More infos in our paper. The code is released as open source on our webpage.
what about controlling the vertical plane, all i see it horizontal ?
The control is in 6DOF, that’s why it is so stable
looks like it’s holding it vertically. If not, you’d see it dip and rise.
How frequently does the uav need it’s position/attitude updated to be effective?
