Drone Framework 1

Autonomous Drone

Introduction The main goal of my project was to add autonomous flight capabilities to a simple drone framework. I have seen many projects in the past which attempt to develop a flight controller for a drone. While the theory behind this is rather simple, it can be hard to acheive great results in practice. Rather […]

The Cell Phone Drone

The Mission We knew that this would be tough. There’s a reason all of the drones you see on sale today have four motors, and that’s because they’re naturally much more stable than a drone with two motors and they’re overall more fun and practical. However, quadcopters are still very unstable and could not be

To the left can be seen an example of the euler angle scheme for a plane. To the right can be seen a top down view of our quadcopter with the arms labeled as mentioned

3-DOF Self-stabilizing Quadcopter Frame or: How We Learned To Stop Trying and Not Build the Drone

Introduction We created a 3 rotational degree of freedom quadcopter frame. The result was so that when placed on the small surface area of roughly a finger tip, the quadcopter can maintain its stability and recover from perturbations. The four motors increase and decrease in speed according the size and direction of the disturbance so

IQ MOTOR MODULE – AN INTEGRATED MOTOR WITH A CLOSED LOOP CONTROLLER AND POSITION SENSOR

The drone industry is booming, and the technology is just… cool, to put it plainly. Flying robots, many of which are completely autonomous delivering our goods and also spying on us. Makers and hobbyist are getting on the bandwagon, making their customized drones with available parts. With the boom of UAV (Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle) and Drone technology also comes
