Cancrinus, Ernst (author)<div>Achieving autonomous inclined landing would be an important step towards quadrotors which are able to land anywhere and under any conditions. If a quadrotor is able to safely land anywhere, even when a landing platform is not available, this would open up many useful applications. Firstly, the quadrotor could safely land whenever its...master thesis 2024
