Bio-inspired flying robots: experimental synthesis of autonomous indoor flyers Experimental Synthesis of Autonomous Indoor Flyers

This book discusses novel ultra-light flying robots and control systems designed for fully autonomous indoor aerial navigation. Among the aspects discussed are the non-negligible weight and energy constraints, as well as the need for rapid (but low-energy) sensory-motor mapping. The book explores the application of biological principles to the development of navigation controllers allowing flying robots to fly autonomously while avoiding collisions.

Radar Basics. Radar Detection Theory. Signals and Noise. The Multivariate Gaussian Distribution. Specific Radar Waveforms. Matched Filter. Pulse Compression. Doppler Processing. Adaptive Array Processing. Worked Examples.
