Overview
What it does: Robotheca's summary
- Simulates quadrotor dynamics with configurable parameters, plus IMU and depth sensors, with optional RK4 integration.
- Controls position and attitude with PID controllers that have tunable gains and integral windup prevention.
- Offers several trajectory planners, including minimum jerk, Lissajous, circular, obstacle avoidance, minimum snap, and landing.
- Is configured through a YAML file covering simulation, control, planner, and visualization parameters.
- Lists planned features not yet built: wind and environmental effects, motor dynamics, multi-quadrotor simulation, and MPC.
