Abstract
In this thesis, I describe a robot localization algorithm and present two fancy quadrotor
applications. I implement Multi-state Kalman filter which is a tightly coupled monocular
visual-inertial odometry algorithm. This algorithm provides high-quality odometry with
a low demanding on the computational resource. Based on this localization algorithm,
I present a method allowing a quadrotor equipped with only onboard cameras and an IMU to catch a
flying ball. Our system runs without any external infrastructure and with
reasonable computational complexity. An online monocular vision-based ball trajectory
estimator is designed in this system and applied to recover and predict the 3-D motion of a
flying ball using only noisy 2-D observations. A multi-quadrotor system is designed

In this thesis, I describe a robot localization algorithm and present two fancy quadrotor
applications. I implement Multi-state Kalman filter which is a tightly coupled monocular
visual-inertial odometry algorithm. This algorithm provides high-quality odometry with
a low demanding on the computational resource. Based on this localization algorithm,
I present a method allowing a quadrotor equipped with only onboard cameras and an IMU to catch a
flying ball. Our system runs without any external infrastructure and with
reasonable computational complexity. An online monocular vision-based ball trajectory
estimator is designed in this system and applied to recover and predict the 3-D motion of a
flying ball using only noisy 2-D observations. A multi-quadrotor system is designed
for interactive demonstration then. Our swarm system can recognize people's different
gestures and reply with some specific actions. The architecture of our swarm system is
well constructed and can work with a different number of quadrotors.
