Philipp Foehn

Based in Zurich, I'm a PhD in robotics, a programmer that does camera-based navigation for drones. I love hiking, traveling and music!

This summer I've been working to finally understand Lie Theory, the basis for proper estimation on over-parameterised manifolds like SE(3). There are some great tutorials for the roboticist out there; I especially like Micro Lie Theory by Solà et al. https://t.co/0j7fS4gAGL

We are excited to announce our latest paper in Science Robotics on agile flight allowing us to generate "time-optimal quadrotor trajectories" that are faster than human #FPV #droneracing pilots! Paper: https://t.co/vYvvvqC8Kl Full video: https://t.co/KZQFAnYuIT
Kudos @foehnph

We are excited to announce our new, indoor, drone-testing arena! Equipped with 36 @Vicon cameras and with 30x30x8m of flight space, we can deploy advanced perception, learning, control algorithms to push vision-based agile drones to speeds over 60 km/h and accelerations over 5g!

#RSS2021 did the submission close too early?

[Davide Scaramuzza @davsca1]

Check out our new paper on Data-Driven MPC for Quadrotors to counteract aerodynamic effects! Up to 70% reduction in trajectory tracking error at speeds up to 14m/s and accelerations beyond 4g!

How to keep drones flying when a motor fails?

Researchers at the @UZH_en and @TUDelftDRI show how onboard cameras can be used to keep damaged quadcopters in the air and flying stably – even without GPS. @davsca1

Time and attention are precious, and we should treat each others’ time and attention with respect. Here is a proposal for some 21st-century rules that should help us do that with modern communication methods: https://t.co/y0lHnz4OB2 Thanks Carmen and @foehnph for reviewing!

Robotics has a need for combining publications and code!

[Papers with Code @paperswithcode]

🎉 Papers with Code is expanding to more sciences! Today we launch new sites for physics, maths, CS, statistics and astronomy. You can use these sites to sync your code to show on arXiv. Explore our portal here: https://t.co/adn5t4rWDn
