As the sister book to "Introduction to Multicopter Design and Control," published by Springer in 2017, this book focuses on using a practical process to help readers to deepen their understanding of multicopter design and control. Novel tools with tutorials on multicopters are presented, which can help readers move from theory to practice. Experiments presented in this book employ: (1) The most widely-used flight platform - multicopters - as a flight platform; (2) The most widely-used flight pilot hardware - Pixhawk - as a control platform; and (3) One of the most widely-used programming languages in the field of control engi-neering - MATLAB + Simulink - as a programming language. Based on the current advanced development concept Model-Based Design (MBD)process, the three aspects mentioned above are closely linked. Each experiment is implemented in MATLAB and Simulink, and the numerical simula-tion test is carried out on a built simulation platform. Readers can upload the controller to the Pixhawk autopilot using automatic code generation technology and form a closed loop with a given real-time simulator for Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing. After that, the actual flight with the Pixhawk autopilot can be performed. This is by far the most complete and clear guide to modern drone fundamentals I've seen.It covers every element of these advanced aerial robots and walks through examples and tutorials based on the industry's leading open-source software and tools. Read this book, and you'll be well prepared to work at the leading edge of this exciting new industry. Chris Anderson, CEO 3DR and Chairman, the Linux Foundation's Dronecode Project The development of a multicopter and its applications is very challenging in the robotics area due to the multidomain knowledge involved. This book systematically addresses the design, simulation and implementation of multicopters with the industrial leading workflow - Model-Based Design, commonly used in the automotive and aero-defense industries. With this book, researchers and engineers can seamlessly apply the concepts, workflows, and tools in other engineering areas, especially robot design and robotics ap-plication development.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Allgemeines, Note: 1, Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien (Abteilung fur Nonprofit Management), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ehrenamtliches Engagement ist ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil unserer Gesellschaft. Wesentliche, gesellschaftlich notwendige Leistungen werden von Nonprofit Organisationen (NPOs) und deren ehrenamtlichen und hauptamtlichen MitarbeiterInnen erbracht. Der moderne Wohlfahrtsstaat ware ohne unentgeltlich bereitgestellte Ressourcen nicht in der Lage, das Angebot an Leistungen in entsprechender Form aufrechtzuerhalten. Weder konnten die grossen Wohlfahrtstrager ihr Leistungsangebot ohne ehrenamtliche Arbeit aufrechterhalten, noch konnten alle Leistungen, die z.B. im Bereich der Nachbarschaftshilfe erbracht werden, vom Staat oder von anderen Institutionen angeboten werden. Daruber hinaus hat ehrenamtliche Arbeit auch eine nicht zu unterschatzende wirtschaftliche Bedeutung, die bislang in der offentlichen Diskussion kaum zur Kenntnis genommen wird. Das ist auch der Grund, weshalb in den letzten Zeiten in der Forschung nicht nur den Ehrenamtlichen als Individuen, sondern auch den NPOs als Organisationen besonderes Augenmerk geschenkt wurden. In Osterreich ist ehrenamtliche Arbeit statistisch kaum erfasst. Erst Anfang der 1980iger Jahre wurde eine umfassende Erhebung uber das Volumen ehrenamtlicher Arbeit durchgefuhrt, deren Daten im Jahre 2001 neu adaptiert wurden. Freiwilliges Engagement von MigrantInnen in Osterreich wurde bislang kaum berucksichtigt, demzufolge gibt es auch keine Daten bezuglich ehrenamtlichen Engagements ethnischer ChinesInnen in Osterreich. Es ist aber ein weltweites Phanomen, dass die Overseas Chinese" im Ausland ver-schiedene Chinese Communities" in Form von NPOs bilden, welche unterschiedliche Ziele und Interessen verfolgen. Diese Tendenz gilt auch fur Osterreich. Hier setzt das Forschungsinteresse dieser Diplomarbeit an, um herauszufinden, welche Bedingungen fur alle in Osterr
