1. IntroductionGlobal air traffic is expected to grow annually at a rate of 4.1% [1], and global advanced air mobility of automated aircraft at lower altitudes is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 22.45% [2]. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) would be an integral part of this future air traffic, used for surveillance, military, transportation, cargo, and many more applications.

Abstract: SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) in unmanned aerial vehicles can be an advantageous proposition during dangerous missions where aggressive maneuvers are paramount. This paper proposes to achieve it for a quadcopter using a differential flatness-based linear quadratic regulator while utilizing sensor measurements of an inertial measurement unit and light detection and ranging considering sensors’ constraints, such as a limited sensing range and field of view.
