内容简介：
"Unmanned Rotorcraft Systems" explores the research and development of fully-functional miniature UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) rotorcraft, and provides a complete treatment of the design of autonomous miniature rotorcraft UAVs. The unmanned system is an integration of advanced technologies developed in communications, computing, and control areas, and is an excellent testing ground for trialing and implementing modern control techniques. It includes detailed expositions of: systematic hardware construction; software systems integration; aerodynamic modeling; and, automatic flight control system design. Emphasis is placed on the cooperative control and flight formation of multiple UAVs, vision-based ground target tracking, and landing on moving platforms. Other issues such as the development of GPS-less indoor micro aerial vehicles and vision-based navigation are also discussed in depth. It also helps you learn: utilizing the vision-based system for accomplishing ground target tracking; attacking and landing; cooperative control and flight formation of multiple unmanned rotorcraft; and, future research directions on the related areas.
