Self-Localization of Tethered Drones without a Cable Force Sensor in GPS-Denied Environments

This paper considers the self-localization of a tethered drone without using a cable-tension force sensor in GPS-denied environments. The original problem is converted to a state-estimation problem, where the cable-tension force and the three-dimensional position of the drone with respect to a groun...
