Autonomous Landing of AR.Drone
Abstract
Inexpensive robotic toys are becoming widely available and though
they are called toys, they provide gradually better sensing features and rising
computational power. Adding new autonomous functions, such as autonomous
landing for flying drones, helps the users with routine maneuvers and so allows
using them with lower risk of breaks caused by loss of control in critical operational
phases. In this paper we present software for autonomous landing of an
AR.Drone – an affordable robotic quadricopter. This software uses an easy-tocustomize
landing pattern and exploits only the sensors available on the drone.
The whole landing process is simplified to a “push-button” approach for the end
user, allowing for safer overall operation.
