Real-time Neural-MPC: Deep Learning Model Predictive Control for Quadrotors and Agile Robotic Platforms

2 code implementations15 Mar 2022 Tim Salzmann, Elia Kaufmann, Jon Arrizabalaga, Marco Pavone, Davide Scaramuzza, Markus Ryll

Our experiments, performed in simulation and the real world onboard a highly agile quadrotor platform, demonstrate the capabilities of the described system to run learned models with, previously infeasible, large modeling capacity using gradient-based online optimization MPC.

Flightmare: A Flexible Quadrotor Simulator

3 code implementations1 Sep 2020 Yunlong Song, Selim Naji, Elia Kaufmann, Antonio Loquercio, Davide Scaramuzza

State-of-the-art quadrotor simulators have a rigid and highly-specialized structure: either are they really fast, physically accurate, or photo-realistic.

Deep Drone Acrobatics

1 code implementation10 Jun 2020 Elia Kaufmann, Antonio Loquercio, René Ranftl, Matthias Müller, Vladlen Koltun, Davide Scaramuzza

In this paper, we propose to learn a sensorimotor policy that enables an autonomous quadrotor to fly extreme acrobatic maneuvers with only onboard sensing and computation.
