Complementary Filter

A complementary filter is the combination of two filters that, in some way, sum together to form a whole. One popular use case is to use a low pass filter on one input signal and a high pass filter on a different input signal. When these two are summed together, the resulting signal has both high and low frequency information, they just came from two different sources. This can be used as a way to combine the accurate high frequency information of a rate gyro with the accurate low frequency... See More

Drone Control

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (or uncrewed aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone) is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS); which include a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers referred to as an autopilot. from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle -...

Robotics

Robotics is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep everyone safe. Robotics draws on the achievement of information engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and others. from Robotics - Wikipedia See More

Attitude Control

Attitude control is the process of controlling the orientation of an aerospace vehicle with respect to an inertial frame of reference or another entity such as the celestial sphere, certain fields, and nearby objects, etc. Controlling vehicle attitude requires sensors to measure vehicle orientation, actuators to apply the torques needed to orient the vehicle to a desired attitude, and algorithms to command the actuators based on (1) sensor measurements of the current attitude and (2)...
