Abstract :
In this paper, an integrated simulation platform is developed for indoor quadrotor applications. The simulation platform mainly consists of two subsystems, the controller subsystem; the other subsystem is an indoor interactive environment. The two integrated subsystems can be highly deployed in quadrotor systems development cycle and validation of different algorithms for indoor navigation. Moreover, the simulation platform has visualization capability and tuning flexibility. These features provide the necessary ability to implement and inspect the developed algorithm in different scenario conditions before implementing them for indoor applications.
