Lecture 1 Part 1

This document provides an overview of a lecture series on autonomous navigation for flying robots. The 8-week course will cover topics like linear algebra, sensors, state estimation, and visual odometry to teach students how to enable a quadcopter to fly autonomously through estimating its state from sensor readings and generating control commands. The lectures will be video-based and include interactive exercises and programming assignments in Python.
