Dr. Sihao Sun discusses his award-winning research in the area of controlling the flight of a drone when faced with a sudden rotor failure.
Typical research in this area addressed the case where one of the four rotors in a quadrotor suddenly, spontaneously stops working. This previous research does not take into full account real-life scenarios where rotor failure is common. This includes collisions with other drones, walls, birds, and operating in degraded GPS environments.

Dr. Sihao Sun is a postdoctoral research assistant at the Robotics and Perception Group (RPG) in University of Zurich directed by Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. Currently, he is working on control and perception for aerial robots (drones).
In December 2020, he received his PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Control and Simulation Group of Delft University of Technology. His works on quadrotor fault-tolerant flight control have been featured by reputable media, such as IEEE Spectrum.
