Abstract :
In this study, we work for autonomous takeoff and landing of a miniature size unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We get the information of attitude and altitude by using a small Linux computer and various sensors equipped with fuselage. Attitude and altitude feedback control scheme and autonomous takeoff and landing strategies are proposed. We also develop a landing system that recognize landing site by visual feedback.
