Doug & Chris,
Thanks for the heads up on this. If you recall Vijay Kumar & Daniel Mellinger presented incredible research on aggressive quads & Quads playing 007 theme, both of which were based on optical guidance algorithms (from remote observation video processing). Robert Mahoney and Peter Corke have been publish articles on flight dynamics for Quads & has also done ground breaking research on quad design optimization, non-linear control, etc. since before 2004.

Just to access these guys articles, it is time to finally renew my IEEE membership.

Doug,

Thanks for the link. I think this can be very useful.

IEEE Control Systems Magazine October 2012 is devoted to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as well - autopilots for ultra lightweight robotic birds, cooperative control of multiple autonomous vehicles, autonomous control of unmanned combat air vehicles. I don't have a way to share it by link, though.

I wrote that article "Build your own quadrotor" :-)

Thanks for the introduction. It's my pleasure

hi Hyon,
welcome to diydrones :) btw we would have given you more brownie points for a better review ;)

Really useful articles. Great that you gave a link.Thanks.

According to the article, it looks like MK has one of the less sophisticated control algorithms. In my own expirience however MK has better loiter and auto performance compered to arducopter. See for example this for a rather spectacular demonstration.

I wonder how
