Abstract: 

"This thesis presents a quadrotor vehicle that performs onboard Simultaneous Localization 

and Mapping, allowing it to navigate and create 3D maps in unknown environments. Various 

methods used to arrive at this end result are discussed, as well as a comparison of 

existing navigation algorithms and visual odometry methods. This thesis makes several 

improvements on existing navigation algorithms, and runs the most promising configuration 

in real-time onboard a custom quadrotor system for a full flight demo."
