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
