Novel tools with tutorials on multicopters are presented, which can help readers move from theory to practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExperiments presented in this book employ:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(1) The most widely-used flight platform – multicopters – as a flight platform;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(2) The most widely-used flight pilot hardware – Pixhawk – as a control platform; and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(3) One of the most widely-used programming languages in the field of control engi-neering – MATLAB + Simulink – as a programming language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nBased on the current advanced development concept Model-Based Design (MBD)process, the three aspectsmentioned above are closely linked.\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach experiment is implemented in MATLAB and Simulink, and the numerical simula-tion test is carried out on a built simulation platform. Readers can upload the controller to the Pixhawk autopilot using automatic code generation technology and form a closed loop with a given real-time simulator for Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing. After that, the actual flight with the Pixhawk autopilot can be performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is by far the most complete and clear guide to modern drone fundamentals I’ve seen.It covers every element of these advanced aerial robots and walks through examples and tutorials based on the industry’s leading open-source software and tools. Read this book, and you’ll be well prepared to work at the leading edge of this exciting new industry.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChris Anderson, CEO 3DR and Chairman,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nthe Linux Foundation’s Dronecode Project\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe development of a multicopter and its applications is very challenging in the robotics area due to the multidomain knowledge involved. This book systematically addresses the design, simulation and implementation of multicopters with the industrial leading workflow – Model-Based Design, commonly used in the automotive and aero-defense industries. With this book, researchers and engineers can seamlessly apply the concepts, workflows, and tools in other engineering areas, especially robot design and robotics ap-plication development.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Yanliang Zhang, Founder of Weston Robot,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEX-product Manager of Robotics System Toolbox at the MathWorks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-04-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811531378\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-15-3138-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 407\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385485648012,"sku":"9789811531378","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811531378.jpg?v=1776043098","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811531378","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
