This book can be considered as one of the most complete courses on drones and specifically on multicopters with special attention and focus on quadcopters. It is aimed at an audience ranging from makers to scientists. It contains the necessary elements of design, modeling, control, simulation, and programming, explained in a concise but extended way, especially in points that many texts ignore. Additionally, it merges maker knowledge and technical details with scientific knowledge and design details in a single book.

This book is the result of several years of research in the field. It has a staggered pedagogical design, so that the newcomer to the world of drones or the already embedded can obtain strong basis for learning more knowledge.
