Apart from studying the required material on Vision, Control and Embedded Procesing Systems, the course will be largely based on project work. Students will be divided into groups of 2-3 people working one one or more lab assignments. Assignments are in the area of:
 * Stitching a panoramic image together from pictures made by a rotating quadcopter.
 * Following a sequence of markers placed on the walls.
 * Follow the leader, following another quadcopter.

Note that visual tracking of the quadrocopter can be combined with the mapping of the environment. A state-of-the-art example is demonstrated in the video below.

Other examples: You can read more in the Related Videos page.
 * Several other examples are demonstrated by the Control of Distributed, Autonomous Systems group in ETH led by Raffaello D'Andrea (see videos at: http://www.youtube.com/user/UntitledTitle).
 * The project page of Vijay Kumar in University of Pennsylvania contains multiple examples of research topics based on quadrocopters.
 * Autonomous navigation, surveillance, and formation using AR Drone, by Tomas Krajnik in TU Prague.
