visual-aided simultaneous localization and mapping (V-SLAM): This project aims
to realize motion planning of unmanned aerial vehicles in priori unknown
environments by vision-based sensing. In this project, V-SLAM algorithms will
be developed, and tested during fast flights with a multi-rotor equipped with a
camera, lidar, and inertial sensors. V-SLAM will provide an instantaneous local
map of surroundings in which local motion planning of multi-rotor will be
conducted.<span></span></p>
