Cockpit Design for First Person View Flight for a Remotely Operated Quadrotor Helicopter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, technological advances have been focused on the cockpit of modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in order to reduce pilot requirements and workload to operate them. First person view (FPV) flight represents a key point when UAVs perform tasks beyond the line of sight. This paper presents the design and implementation of a cockpit for a remotely operated quadrotor. We have developed an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for piloting the quadrotor encompassing the most relevant flight instruments as an altimeter, attitude, heading, and ground speed indicators. The GUI is developed using the programming development environment LabVIEW®.

Robust Control of a Quadrotor
In this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. The designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. The attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (SMC) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...
متن کاملQuadrotor Helicopter Flight Dynamics and Control: Theory and Experiment
Quadrotors are rapidly emerging as a popular platform for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research, due to the simplicity of their construction and maintenance, their ability to hover, and their vertical take off and landing (VTOL) capability. Current designs have often considered only nominal operating conditions for vehicle control design. This work seeks to address issues that arise when devia...
متن کاملThe Design and Implementation of a Quadrotor Flight Controller Using the QUEST Algorithm
Formally posed in 1965, the problem of optimal attitude estimation from vector measurements has been a hot topic of research in the aerospace community. This paper provides a survey of open source quadrotor helicopter autopilots that demonstrates that the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle community has largely ignored the optimal attitude estimation work to date. Furthermore, the effectiveness of a quadr...

متن کاملA High Gain Observer and Sliding Mode Controller for an Autonomous Quadrotor Helicopter
This paper deals with the design of a high gain observer and sliding mode controller for a remotely controlled quadrotor vertical take off and landing aircraft. Under the restriction that only the inertial coordinates and yaw angle are available for measurement, a high gain observer is designed which allows estimating on-line the roll and pitching angles as well as all the linear and angular ve...
