FAST Lab’s recent work “GCOPTER” is reported by IEEE Spectrum

On March 6, 2020, the FAST Lab’s recent work “GCOPTER” was reported by IEEE Spectrum.

Led by Prof. XU Chao and Dr. GAO Fei, the FAST (Field Autonomous System & compuTing) Lab is part of the Institute of Cyber-Systems and Control, College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University. It is mainly engaged in the fields of Autonomous Systems (navigation, control, motion planning, perception, SLAM, etc.), AI (imaging, vision, machine learning, control, etc.) for Turbulent Flows, Data-driven Science and Engineering, and Synergy of AI and Control.

GCOPTER is a high-performance versatile trajectory optimization framework as the back-end of any task-specific multicopter motion planning, developed from the FAST Lab. 

Author: WANG Zhepei, ZHOU Xin, XU Chao, GAO Fei, all from the FAST Lab.
