“…A quadrotor designed with cross beam four typical propeller structures in which two of them rotates at anticlockwise direction and others two rotate in clockwise [12,13] direction as shown in Figure 1 Quadrotor motion is attained by changing the rotation speed of the rotor discs, thus altering its torque load and thrust characteristics. The front and the rear rotors move counterclockwise, whereas the left and the right propeller rotate clockwise [14,15]. This form of inverse paired orientation configuration removes the need for a propeller, as shown in Figure 3.…”

The quadcopter, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is a revolutionary innovation that has a great deal of potential. Modern quadrotors are transforming into small, powerful, light-weight, and agile vehicles. For the study, a variety of multirotor configurations were created before settling on a quadcopter structure. Our current focus is on mounting and designing a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe-based outdoor quadrotor setup. The quadcopter's controller is built based on the estimated mass output by decomposing the mathematical model, selecting the required motors, and using coherent electronic modules to track the outdoor environment. Quadrotor will take-off without generating any torque in the body casing. Rotors attached with motors generate thrust in the upward direction entirely based on the shape and dimension of the rotors. The proposed algorithm has strengthened the theory of nonlinear system output feedback control. The output control of a nonlinear system with parametric and functional uncertainties, as well as the input delay, is the most significant problem the configuration's materials were solely based on mass and forces acting on them. In this research we proposed a delayed roll and pitch angle reaction with standard specifications, and the faster roll and pitch angle reaction with appropriate parameters Quadrotor serves as the central body, tracking all controllable functions. Test results are then presented in order to show balanced flight performance.

“…It is an under-actuated, dynamic vehicle with four input forces and six output coordinates. Quadrotor, composed of four rotors with symmetrically arrangement where two diagonal motors (1 and 2) are running in the same direction whereas the others (3 and 4) in the other direction to eliminate the anti-torque [7][11] [12]. As shown in Fig.…”

This paper describes nonlinear dynamics model of x-configuration quadrotor using Newton-Euler modelling technique. To stabilize quadrotor attitude (roll (ϕ), pitch (θ), yaw (ψ)) during hovering, a PID controller is proposed. There is individual PID controller for each roll, pitch, yaw and z where 12 parameters consist of kp, ki, and kd are fine-tuned using particle swarm optimization algorithms. From the simulation, the sum absolute error fitness function give the best optimize result where quadrotor achieve zero steady state error for hovering with 18.9% overshoot, and 4.42s settling time. Accordingly, for attitude stabilization, roll angle, pitch angle, and yaw angle converge to the set point, zero approximately with settling time 2.76s, 0.1s and 3.2s respectively.

The amphibious drone is the drone that is capable to travel in both air and water. In order to move through water, buoyancy force needs to be balanced and it challenges the structural integrity, it must have a better communication system with more penetration and less attenuation of the signal. To overcome that challenge the radio signal and Acoustic communication are widely used in the amphibious drone. In underwater, we have difficulty to get a clear view of positioning, for that there will be a mini system installed on the drone that will automatically calculate and sets their tracks to find the position, depth and time of the system. To achieve better communication an extra ground station will be installed. For controlling the motions of the drone in an effective manner the microcontroller is used as a flight controller for transmitting and resaving the user data. the aluminum alloy is used in the amphibious drone to avoid structural damage. Based on the above consideration the amphibious drone has been developed and measuring their efficiency in both air and water, after experimentation this amphibious drone may be used for coastal rescue, surveillance, oceanographic research etc. The entire design and development of amphibious drone are in progress and testing to be done in the future
