About

Amol Kankane is a researcher specializing in aerial robotics, with a focus on the design, control, and trajectory generation of quadrotor platforms. His most cited work, "Design, trajectory generation and control of quadrotor research platform" (2016), has garnered 5 citations and presents a practical, cost-effective approach to modeling and controlling quadrotors in 3D environments. In this paper, Kankane details a method for measuring the moment of inertia about principal axes using the 3DR Pixhawk PX4 controller and Robot Operating System (ROS), enabling improved flight performance on inexpensive hardware. This contribution is particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking accessible yet robust experimental setups in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research. Kankane's work bridges the gap between theoretical control systems and real-world implementation, offering a reproducible framework for quadrotor development. His research underscores the importance of low-cost platforms in advancing autonomous flight, making him a notable figure in the growing field of open-source aerial robotics.
