(TU Delft Control & Simulation) Contributor Mulder, Max (promotor) de Croon, G.C.H.E. (promotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2017-12-12 Abstract Many types of drones have emerged over the last decade and new applications in various sectors are announced almost on a daily basis. In scientific literature, small drones are called Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Especially very small MAVs will play a significant role in indoor applications, since their small size allows them to navigate in narrow, cluttered environments. At the same time, many indoor applications will benefit from MAVs becoming fully autonomous. That will allow these vehicles to operate in areas that cannot be accessed by humans for various reasons.
