چکیده
Autonomous outdoor quad-rotor helicopters increasingly attract the attention of potential researchers. Several structures and configurations have been developed to allow 3D movements. The quadrotor helicopter is made of a rigid cross frame equipped with four rotors. The autonomous quad-rotor architecture has been chosen for this research for its low dimension, good manoeuvrability, simple mechanics and payload capability. This article presents the modelling, control and navigation of an autonomous outdoor quad-rotor helicopter.

Flight Control System of an Experimental Unmanned Quad-Rotor Helicopter
An autonomous robot with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability could be useful for many applications including search and rescue, exploration in hazardous environments, monitoring, surveillance and investigation or even for intelligence. However design of a flight control system for a small UAV is a challenging task. Unlike in conventional aircrafts the control algorithm has to be imp...
متن کاملQuad-Rotor UAV: High-Fidelity Modeling and Nonlinear PID Control
Quad-rotor helicopter is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), whose lift is generated by four rotors located on the corner of X-shape. Due to simplicity of its dynamics and its ability to hover, quadrotor helicopter becomes as a popular platform for UAV. Current designs mostly consider a linear model for controller design. In this paper, we derivate nonlinear dynamic equations of the quadrotor UAV...

Changing between cruise and hover flight modes in midair is referred to transition. Dynamic model of the vehicle is derived b...
متن کاملVision-Based Control of a Multi-Rotor Helicopter
Autonomous air vehicles frequently rely on GPS as a primary source of state feedback. However, relying on GPS disallows operation in enclosed spaces, under heavy vegetation or near large obstacles since GPS does not provide sufficient accuracy in these environments. Similar work in GPS-denied navigation uses laser-based odometry, structured-light or places visual markers in the environment. The...
