Welcome
The goal of
Quadrocopter Flight Control is to implement digital remote control for a
quadrocopter with an aerial collision avoidance system. The quadrocopter is
controlled semi-autonomously using a Linux microcontroller (LUC) running
collision avoidance algorithm, and interfaced to wireless communication
system. The LUC utilizes an Atmel microprocessor to interface to the array
of infrared distance sensors and a flight stabilizing controller that is
built in into the quadrocopter. A computer controlled by a remote operator
sends commands wirelessly to the on-board LUC. This controller alters these
commands as necessary to avoid colliding with nearby objects using the data
from the infrared sensors. The distances from the infrared sensors is
continuously adjusted to account for the tilt of the quadrocopter. To
prevent accidents if the wireless connection is lost, the quadrocopter is
capable of stabilizing the flight and an emergency landing.
A successful system was implemented but couldn’t do any flight
testing in limited time.
