<> == Overview == This stack provides packages related to modeling, control and simulation of quadrotor UAV systems. The following packages are available: * [[hector_quadrotor_description]] provides a generic quadrotor URDF model as well as variants with various sensors. {{{#!wiki version hydro * [[hector_quadrotor_model]] implements the dynamic models for the quadrotor's propulsion system and aerodynamics (drag). * [[hector_quadrotor_controller]] contains twist, pose and motor controllers for a quadrotor based on [[ros_control]]. [[hector_quadrotor_controller_gazebo]] implements the quadrotor hardware interface as plugin for [[gazebo_ros_control]]. }}} * [[hector_quadrotor_gazebo]] contains the necessary launch files and dependency information for simulation of the quadrotor model in [[gazebo]]. * [[hector_quadrotor_teleop]] contains a node that permits control of the quadrotor using a gamepad. * [[hector_quadrotor_gazebo_plugins]] provides plugins that are specific to the simulation of quadrotor UAVs in gazebo simulation. Details can also be found in this paper: {{{ @INPROCEEDINGS{2012simpar_meyer, author = {Johannes Meyer and Alexander Sendobry and Stefan Kohlbrecher and Uwe Klingauf and Oskar von Stryk}, title = {Comprehensive Simulation of Quadrotor UAVs using ROS and Gazebo}, year = {2012}, pages = {to appear}, booktitle = {3rd Int.
