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 […]

Autonomously Hovering Quadcopter

We designed, constructed and tested an autonomous quadcopter that used an IMU to control its attitude and a radio to transmit data to a controller, which we also built. The project focused on making the quadcopter as autonomous as possible, so only high level commands such as flight time are sent from the controller to
