Project Abstract:

A quadcopter, often known as a quadrotor, is a multirotor aircraft that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. The goal of this project is to design, build, and test a quadcopter that is capable of steady flying and can be controlled remotely. The design will include the selection of appropriate motors, propellers, and control electronics, as well as the creation of a control algorithm to stabilise the quadcopter's flight. The control algorithm will be tested and adjusted via several flight tests, and the quadcopter's performance will be assessed in terms of stability, control, and manoeuvrability. The ultimate objective is to create a practical and dependable quadcopter that may be used for aerial photography, surveying, and other purposes.

Project Background:

Quadcopters have grown in popularity in recent years because to their versatility, mobility, and simplicity of operation. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for a variety of tasks, including aerial photography, surveying, and inspection. In contrast to traditional helicopters, which rely on a single main rotor and a tail rotor for lift and control, quadcopters employ four rotors placed in a symmetrical arrangement for lift and stability.

​

The development of quadcopters has been driven by advances in microelectronics, battery technology, and control algorithms. Today, quadcopters are available in various sizes and configurations, from small consumer drones to large industrial systems. The design and control of quadcopters pose several challenges, including the need for stable flight, the requirement for precise control, and the need for efficient use of power.

​

Despite the increased interest in quadcopters, there is still a need for research and development to enhance their performance and dependability. This project intends to contribute to this field by designing, building, and testing a quadcopter capable of steady flight and remote control. The ultimate objective is to create a functioning and dependable quadcopter that can be utilised for a variety of purposes.
