PD Controller
- Run code: change trajectories in file
control/runsim.mand run. - See quadrotor_dynamics.pdf for dynamic modeling of the quadrotor.
- See
control/controller.mfor implementation of the PD controller. - Visualization below. Desired (blue) vs Actual (red)
Trajectory 1: Step

Trajectory 2: Circle

Trajectory 2: Diamond

Path Planning and Trajectory Optimization
- Run code:
traj_planning/runsim.mand run path 1 or path 3. - See project_report.pdf for more details about trajectory generation
- See
traj_planning/path_planning/dijkstra.mfor implementation of path finding algorithms (dijstra, A*). - See
traj_planning/traj_opt7.mfor implementations of minimium snap trajectory. - See
traj_planning/traj_opt5.mfor implementations of minimium acceleration trajectory. - Visualization below.
