Onboard Wind-Preview Model Predictive Control Using Pitot-Static Sensing for Multirotor UAVs

Effective wind gust rejection and stable hovering are critical for the outdoor operation of autonomous drones. However, existing gust rejection methods are primarily reactive, inferring the disturbance from the resulting motion or measuring it at the airframe. Either way, the wind has already begun to act before it can...
