![]() ![]() The development of quadcopters has stalled until very recently, because controlling four independent rotors has proven to be incredibly difficult and impossible without electronic assistance. The swashplate mechanism was needed to allow the helicopter to utilize more degrees of freedom, but the same level of control can be obtained by adding two more rotors. With four independent rotors, the need for a swashplate mechanism is alleviated. The theories presented in this paper were analyzed and proved on a real model resulting in the desired flying behavior.Ī quadrotor helicopter (quadcopter) is a helicopter which has four equally spaced rotors, usually arranged at the corners of a square body. ![]() A cascade controller P-PID was implemented in order to control the system and reach the stability as well as in indoor or outdoor flights. Accelerometers and gyroscopes were used in order to obtain the data related to the drone's behavior during the flight to be able to control it. The control system was designed for a quadcopter on ' × ' configuration, which allows it to have six degrees of freedom (6DOF) of movement, while commanded by four inputs given by the radio controller (R/C). We present a mathematical approach used to build the structure of an attitude controller for a quadcopter (drone) as to answer the question of 'How to implement an attitude controller on a quadcopter for indoor and outdoor flights as a step forward to support the safety features in factory applications'. This paper describes the current legal framework and regulations applied to industrial drone's flights established by different countries as a set point on drones design and applications. The final quadcopter concept is well suited for further experimental work. Although there are many enhancements that I could do to the design, we have proven that it is possible to produce a small-scale UAV that performs functions of interest to the military as well as commercial/industrial applications. ![]() Using this we create a horizontal-plane velocity estimator that uses data from the built-in inertial sensors and an onboard laser scanner, and implement translational control using a nested control loop architecture. I determine the dynamics of its roll and pitch attitude controller, system latencies, and the units associated with the values exchanged with the vehicle over its serial port. This paper describes modelling, estimation, and control of the horizontal translational motion of an open-source and cost effective quadcopter. The quadcopter is naturally unstable, has a complex dynamic model and six degrees of freedom. The popularity of quadcopters are increasing as the sensors and control systems are getting more advanced. The quadcopter is flying vehicle like helicopter but having four rotors which are situated in one plane. This thesis is studying one type of these vehicles, so called quadcopter. The development in the fields of MEMS sensors, miniature, energy efficient and very powerful microcontrollers, and microprocessors has given the opportunity to build small autonomous flying vehicles. Microcontroller based drone control system has also been developed where a RF transmitter and receiver operating in the frequency of 2.4 GHz are used for remote operation for the Quadcopter. The simulation shows a very stable operation and control of the developed Quadcopter. The developed Quadcopter control system has been simulated in MATLAB and abaqus. A Quadcopter has been built that can be operated by radio frequency controller and send live audio-visual feedback. Its’s usage is currently limited by difficulties such as satellite communication and cost. It is controlled either autonomously by on-board computers or by remote control of a pilot on the ground. UAV is defined as an aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expandable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload. ![]()
