This book is a set of instructions (with additional suggestions along the way) for how to build an autonomous quadcopter. A general understanding of robotics and electronics concepts are a real advantage in pursuing aerial robotics. It also helps to be familiar with basic tools and equipment, including a soldering iron, to have long-term success in designing your own small UAVs. If you’re a maker who enjoys persevering through trial-and-error problem solving while you’re building something, then you’ll enjoy aerial robotics. Being able to build a flying robot, and view scenes from completely new perspectives, is well worth the time and effort.
