Abstract:	An embedded system for the flight control of an autonomous helicopter has been developed at the Institute for Computer Systems (ICS) at ETH Zurich. The technical reports [1]-[3] describe its hardware core, the programming language used, and the software core, respectively. This report covers the following topics: communication, data logging, navigation (state estimation), modelling of the helicopter, state space control, and trajectory planning.
