Drones to Go: A Crash Course for Scientists and Makers: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Drones to Go: A Crash Course for Scientists and Makers" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Learn the five key skills needed to become a quadcopter developer: design, modeling, control, simulation, and implementation. This book provides a crash course on drone development for beginners and can also serve as a comprehensive reference for those who want a detailed guide for future projects.

Youll review key features often missed in other books: a deeper review of controls, step by step modeling, and methods for simulating and designing drones. Although the quadcopter is used as the main example throughout the book, youll also see how to apply the development knowledge to other aircrafts or aerial systems.

Highly visual and easy to understand, this book features Simulink and Matlab tools, but the skills covered can be used in other environments such as Scilab or other programming languages. Drones To Go merges maker knowledge and technical information with scientific knowledge and design essentials.

What Youll Learn
  • Review the main families of control: geometric, linear, and common dynamic feedback control
  • Understand the mathematics of a quadcopter
  • Follow step-by-step instructions on modeling and control equations

  • Focus on pedagogical development to answer any doubts in the design process

Foreword

This book can be considered as one of the most complete courses on drones and specifically on multicopters with special attention and focus on quadcopters. It is aimed at an audience ranging from makers to scientists. It contains the necessary elements of design, modeling, control, simulation, and programming, explained in a concise but extended way, especially in points that many texts ignore. Additionally, it merges maker knowledge and technical details with scientific knowledge and design details in a single book.

This book is the result of several years of research in the field. It has a staggered pedagogical design, so that the newcomer to the world of drones or the already embedded can obtain strong basis for learning more knowledge.

Detailed step-by-step deductions not available in other works are included, such as the extensive proof of the controllers and their simulations.

It is clearly indicated and with enough references how to extend the knowledge here developed to a wide variety of aircraft or aerial systems.

Finally, an appendix offers a very complete bibliography for those who like to extend their knowledge on the subject.

The text assumes that the readers have at least a high school or technical bachelors degree and understand concepts such as derivatives, integrals, basic ordinary differential equations, and notions of algorithms and programming.

With This Book, You Will Learn
  • An introduction to the five desirable skills to become a multicopter developer: design, modeling, control, simulation, and programming

  • An extended model on the mathematics of a multicopter, not present in any previous work and with a visual and pedagogical development, answering many of the doubts that remain in the air at the time of such explanations

  • A novel way to visualize the controllers of a multicopter, that is fully compatible with the existing state of the art

  • A detailed description of the controllers and their simulation, which is not widely disseminated in articles or other books and is usually reserved for classrooms

  • You can use this book as the basis for future learning in a small, highly visual, and easy-to-understand presentation.

  • The goal of this book is to unify the maker world with the scientific world through this type of aircraft, including design tips omitted in scientific books and scientific tips omitted in design books.

  • You can extend the acquired knowledge to the design and analysis of other types of vehicles with a moderate but systematic effort.

How to Read This Book
This book is divided into five sections that in our opinion are necessary for an acceptable level of knowledge for a drone designer:
  • In the design section, the technical characteristics to be considered when preparing a prototype of a multicopter are shown. This section is based on a compilation of maker-style texts and webpages. Note that this knowledge can be easily extended to other types of vehicles.
