Design & Development of a UAV Autonomous Control System. UAV Remotely Operated Mobile Based Station with Configurable Capabilities

      Аннотация: This book attempts to provide a platform for the autonomous control of a UAV in the form of a RC helicopter. This model is intended to serve as groundwork to related projects in the near future. It is hoped that with the passage of time the project will achieve the status that is intended for it. Though various methods exist for the implementation of this scheme, the team has decided to follow up with an approach that involves controlling the helicopter with the help of an on-board UAV kit and its controlling station. Though this approach might sound uneasy, the approach is an inexpensive and more flexible when compared with the other solutions like the autopilot. Using a closed loop control strategy, the project intends to stabilize the helicopter based on the information from the sensors received. After the values are received at the control station, the control station sends the required "remedial? servo commands to allow the helicopter to stabilize itself.
