abstract = {This chapter proposes a typical use case dealing with the physical simulation of autonomous robots (specifically, quadrotors) and their interfacing in ROS (Robot Operating System). In particular, we propose CrazyS, an extension of the ROS package RotorS, aimed to modeling, developing and integrating the Crazyflie 2.0 nano-quadcopter in the physics based simulation environment Gazebo. Such simulation platform allows to understand quickly the behavior of the flight control system by comparing and evaluating different indoor and outdoor scenarios, with a details level quite close to reality. The proposed extension, running on Kinetic Kame ROS version but fully compatible with the Indigo Igloo one, expands the RotorS capabilities by considering the Crazyflie 2.0 physical model, its flight control system and the Crazyflie's on-board IMU, as well. A simple case study has been considered in order to show how the package works and how the dynamical model interacts with the control architecture of the quadcopter. The contribution can be also considered as a reference guide for expanding the RotorS functionalities in the UAVs field, by facilitating the integration of new aircrafts. We released the software as open-source code, thus making it available for scientific and educational activities.},

What excites me most about this field are the challenging, multidisciplinary problems that require me
to use my background in Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Control Systems to develop integrated solutions.

<h2 id="publications">About This Site</h2>

<p class="lead" style="text-align:justify">
<font size="-0.5">
More about the content and design of this site can be found in the site's <a href="https://awinkler.github.io/index.html"><b>Alexander W. Winkler</b></a>.
If you want to know more about my use of cookies, take a look at the <a href="/cookies.html"><b>cookies policy</b></a>. The cookies enabler (and the corresponding
banner) has been strongly inspired by the <a href="https://github.com/nicholasruggeri/cookies-enabler"><b>Nicholas Ruggeri's</b></a> cookies-enabler.

<br><br>

When I decided to build my website (I thought it was a good idea to get to know myself and my work known on the web), I was looking for something easy to manage and
update. Something that was modern and that could help me to publish in a rapid way all my papers and new infos about my research and career. While considering websites
of my colleagues abroad, (e.g., <a href="https://awinkler.github.io/index.html"><b>Alexander W. Winkler</b></a>, <a href="http://jpreiss.github.io/"><b>James Alan
Preiss</b></a>), I discovered static site generators, in particular <a href="http://jemdoc.jaboc.net/"><b>jemdoc</b></a> and <a href="https://jekyllrb.com/"><b>Jekyll
</b></a>.
</font></p>

<p class="lead" style="text-align:justify">
<font size="-0.5">
I realized the benefits of a static site:
</font></p>

<ul class="lead">
<font size="-0.5">
<li>provide improved security over dynamic websites;</li>
<li>improve performance for end users compared to dynamic websites;</li>
<li>ensure fewer or no dependencies on systems such as databases or other application servers;</li>
<li>allow cost savings from utilizing cloud storage, as opposed to a hosted environment.</li>
</font>
</ul>

<p class="lead" style="text-align:justify">
<font size="-0.5">
Looking around websites using such technologies, I saw <a href="https://awinkler.github.io/index.html"><b>Alexander W. Winkler's site</b></a> and I really enjoyed his style.
Therefore, I contacted Alexander expressing my appreciation and asked him to use its style for my website using Jekyll.
</font></p>

<br><br>

<h2 id="publications">The Mechanics</h2>

<p class="lead" style="text-align:justify">
<font size="-0.5">
Jekyll is a simple, extendable, static site generator. You give it text written in your favorite markup language (e.g., TeX or Markdown) and it churns through layouts to create
a static website. Throughout that process you can tweak how you want the site URLs to look, what data gets displayed in the layout, and more.

<br><br>
To learn the basics of using Jekyll - Static Site Generator, I followed the online course of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvmINlrza7JHB1zkIOuXEbw"><b>Mike Dane</b></a>,
available at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLAZ4kZ9dFpOPV5C5Ay0pHaa0RJFhcmcB"><b>link</b></a>. The course teaches you everything you need to know to create a professional
and scalable website or blog!
