Study passivity.
- To estimate the parameters of the system in a quadrocopter using a control during excitation, use more than one gain (like a PD controller).
Use uniformally distributed 500 points
You can't take eigenvalues of quadratic forms directly.
Ways to solve time delay problems (instability). Uses an energy based approach.
- Use global shutters - Core2Duo
Information filter dual of kalman filter
ARCAS: Arm on copters
sFly - Hacen cosas parecidas a lo que quiero. Usan un hokuyo para reconstruir scenas en 3D.
