  • Abstract
    In this article, we consider the problem of autonomous navigation with a microaerial vehicle (MAV) in three-dimensional (3-D) confined indoor environments with multiple floors. We present experimental results with ground truth comparisons and performance analysis. We also highlight field experiments in multiple environments.
