Dr. Sihao Sun discusses his award-winning research in the area of controlling the flight of a drone when faced with a sudden rotor failure. Typical research in this area addressed the case where one of the four rotors in a quadrotor suddenly, spontaneously stops working. This previous research does not take into full account real-life …

How to keep drones flying when a motor fails

Articles, c-Research-Innovation, cx-Aerial, Flying, herotagrc / By

Robotics researchers at the University of Zurich show how onboard cameras can be used to keep damaged quadcopters in the air and flying stably – even without GPS. As anxious passengers are often reassured, commercial aircrafts can easily continue to fly even if one of the engines stops working. But for drones with four propellers …
