 In recent years, flying robots such as quadrocopters have gained increased interest in robotics and computer vision research. To navigate safely, these robots need the ability to localize themselves autonomously using their onboard sensors. Potential applications of such systems include the usage as a flying camera, for example to record sport movies or to inspect bridges from the air, as well as surveillance tasks and applications in agriculture.  In recent years, flying robots such as quadrocopters have gained increased interest in robotics and computer vision research.

 From a scientific perspective, the goal to create autonomously flying robots leads to an interesting set of (yet) unsolved research problems. Challenges include a limited payload (and thus limited processing power and sensors) as well as the requirement to localize and navigate in a 3D environment.  From a scientific perspective, the goal to create autonomously flying robots leads to an interesting set of (yet) unsolved research problems.

-We are in particular interested in using monocular and [[research:rgb-d_sensors_kinect|RGB-D]] cameras as the main sensor. We are currently working on dense visual odometry to reduce the drift of flying robots and [[research:image-based_3d_reconstruction|dense 3D reconstruction]] to create volumetric models of the environment (e.g., for path planning and collision avoidance). +We are in particular interested in using monocular, stereo and [[research:rgb-d_sensors_kinect|RGB-D]] cameras as the main sensor.
