Trajectory Following with a MAV under Rotor Fault Conditions

Abstract

Lately, a novel multirotor aerial vehicle capable of handling single rotor failures was presented. When a rotor fails, physically reconfiguring one of the remaining rotors of an hexarotor allows to compensate for maneuverability limitations. In this work, experimental results show the per- formance of the vehicle in a trajectory-following task in both nominal and fault conditions.
