“…In recent times, there has been an explosion of research on microaerial vehicles (MAVs), ranging from low‐level control (Lee, Leok, & McClamroch, ) to high‐level, specification‐based planning (Wolff, Topcu, & Murray, ). One class of MAVs, the quadrotor, has become popular in academia and industry alike due to its mechanical and control simplicity, high maneuverability, and low cost of entry point compared to other aerial robots (Karydis & Kumar, ). Indeed, there have been numerous applications of quadrotors to fields such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, aerial photography, structural inspection (Özaslan et al., ), robotic first responders (Mohta et al., ), and cooperative construction (Augugliaro et al., ) and aerial manipulation (Thomas, Loianno, Polin, Sreenath, & Kumar, ).…”
