This paper presents a quadcopter system for navigation in outdoor urban environments. The main contributions include the hardware design, the establishment of global occupancy grid maps based on millimeter-wave radars, the trajectory planning scheme based on optimal virtual tube methods, and the controller structure based on dynamics. The proposed system focuses on utilizing a compact and lightweight quadrotor with sensors to achieve navigation that conforms to the direction of urban roads with high computational efficiency and safety. Our work is an application of millimeter-wave radars and virtual tube planning for obstacle avoidance in navigation. The validness and effectiveness of the proposed system are verified by experiments.
