The model provides insights by exploiting the fundamental relationships between various components in an aerial robot, such as sensor framerate, compute performance, and body dynamics (physics). F-1 serves as a tool that can aid computer and cyber-physical system architects to understand the optimal design (or selection) of various components in the development of autonomous machines.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1109/LCA.2020.2981022}, author = {Krishnan, Srivatsan and Wan, Zishen and Bhardwaj, Kshitij and Paul Whatmough and Faust, Aleksandra and Gu Wei and David Brooks and Vijay Reddi} }
