Forward velocity control

[zhanghaijason]

Hello,
I know many people control quadcopter's trajectory. I am wondering if it is possible to control the forward velocity of CF with feedback from vicon or optitrack. It seems the there is no related papers discuss quadcopter's velocity control.

Hi,
have you looked at the Crazyswarm project (http://crazyswarm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and http://usc-actlab.github.io/publication ... RA2017.pdf)? I believe the Crazyswarm project implements forward velocity control.

I read that paper. But it seems that the paper is trajectory following. I think that if we design an appropriate trajectory, the forward can be controlled if the trajectory is controlled perfectly. However, I don't know if it is practical or not.
