Abstract
Quadrotors play a crucial role in difficult tasks such as exploration, inspection and search-and-rescue in dark and cluttered environments. These are usually GPS-denied environments, and the positioning required for autonomous navigation of quadrotors must therefore be based on onboard visual inertial odometry. This embedded localization can quickly become computationally and energy intensive, and even prove ineffective if the complete perception and control loop is designed in a conventional, periodic manner. As an alternative, we propose rethinking the way quadrotors perceive and navigate their environment based on asynchronous strategies, which can be observed in many animals in nature.
