The purpose of this book is to deliver the essentials between target locations autonomously; this can be achieved by using an autonomously navigating quadcopter. Thus, the work is to navigate a quadcopter autonomously between target locations avoiding obstacles. The quadcopter is built with Pixhawk running PX4 flight stack as FCU and Raspberry-pi with ROS installed as on-board computer. Localization is done by taking the raw data from multiple sensors on the platform like IMU and LIDAR whose output is given as input to EKF to derive the pose of the quad. The process of delivery is executed and analyzed using a gazebo simulator in which real world environment set-up can also be done. Thus, we can improve the working of the model by analyzing and correcting the error before practical setup execution.

This book provides a self-paced tutorial with step-by-step procedure for learning "Signal Processing Simulation using MATLAB". This book will be helpful for beginners as well as those who are studying B. Tech ECE/EEE and also students from other branches. Each and every chapter explains the concept and it includes programs with result analysis. Students and beginners are advised to go through those programs, create similar programs and solve them. This book uses plain, lucid language with comment lines to explain fundamentals of this subject. All the chapters in the book are arranged in a proper sequence that permits each topic to build upon further. I sincerely hope that this book will be able to meet your requirements. Your feedback and comments are always welcome for further improvement of quality of this design manual.
