About

Siddhant Sharma is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, modeling, and control of unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly quadrotors. His most-cited paper, "Design, trajectory generation and control of quadrotor research platform" (2016), presents a comprehensive framework for developing an inexpensive yet effective quadrotor testbed. In this work, Sharma details a method for measuring the moment of inertia about the quadrotor’s principal axes, enabling more precise control without costly equipment. By integrating the 3DR Pixhawk PX4 autopilot with the Robot Operating System (ROS), he provides a reproducible platform for trajectory generation and 3D environment navigation. This contribution has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its value as a practical resource for students and researchers entering the field of aerial robotics. Sharma’s focus on accessible, low-cost solutions helps democratize advanced drone research, making it possible for labs with limited budgets to explore autonomous flight and control systems. His work stands as a foundational reference for those seeking to build and program their own quadrotor research platforms.
