OMNICOPTER
OMNICOPTER
The Omnicopter
The Omnicopter - an omni-directional six degrees-of-freedom flying
machine.
In this video, we present a novel six
degrees-of-freedom aerial vehicle.
Based on a static force and torque analysis for generic actuator
configurations,
they have derived an eight-rotor configuration that
maximizes the vehicle's agility in all directions.
The resulting vehicle
possesses full force and torque authority in all three dimensions,
allowing it to fly novel
maneuvers. For more details, please refer to
the research paper "Design, Modeling and Control of an Omni-
Directional
Aerial Vehicle", IEEE International Conference on Robotics and
Automation (ICRA), 2016:
