About

Jacek Michalski is a robotics and control engineering researcher whose work centers on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with a particular focus on developing accessible research platforms and advanced control methodologies for quadrotor systems. His contributions have helped establish practical frameworks for both academic research and education in the rapidly evolving field of autonomous flight. Michalski's most notable work includes his investigation of the Bebop 2 quadrotor as a versatile, low-cost platform for UAV research and teaching, which has garnered 12 citations and demonstrated the viability of micro-class drones as serious tools for rapid prototyping and experimentation. Building on this foundation, his more recent research explores sophisticated control algorithms, including the application of Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) to the Crazyflie 2.1 quadrotor, achieving precise two-degree-of-freedom position control — work that has already accumulated 6 citations since its 2023 publication. Collectively, Michalski's research bridges the gap between theoretical control engineering and real-world UAV implementation, making complex robotics concepts more approachable for students and researchers alike while pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight precision and reliability.
