==== Alexis, Konstantinos ====

- To estimate the parameters of the system in a quadrocopter using a control during excitation, use more than one gain (like a PD controller).

==== visual odometry ====


Use uniformally distributed 500 points

==== Stefano Stramigioli ====

You can't take eigenvalues of quadratic forms directly.

Ways to solve time delay problems (instability). Uses an energy based approach.

==== Achtelik, Markus ====

- Use global shutters
- Core2Duo
