Mathematical Model, Computer Aided Design and Programming of a Multifunctional Flying Object

Abstract

The quadrocopter, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is a type of aerodynamic object using thrust generated by the propellers revolving around the rotor mast. The main areas of focus for complete design and engineering research should be on its stabilization and realization of tasks to be performed during flight. To accomplish these tasks, it is necessary to consider the following stages: modeling of motion dynamics, computer-aided design, programming of the control unit, precise implementation, carefully selected motors and sensors, i.e. a gyroscope, accelerometer, camera, communication module, GPS module, and others. The presented results of research and experiments carried out at Lodz University of Technology in the Department of Automation and Biomechanics take into consideration most of these issues.

An Overview of ATmega AVR Microcontrollers Used in Scientific Research and Industrial Applications

“…Similar implementation is shown in work [12]. An ATme-ga644PA microprocessor is used there as a main regulator of the four-rotor flying machine's hovering state.…”

“…ATmega microprocessors can be applied as regulators in complex dynamical systems. In papers [11] and [12] the microprocessors can be found as main controllers for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). ATmega168-20U controls the flight of a tri-rotor flying robot.…”

IoD-Crypt: A Lightweight Cryptographic Framework for Internet of Drones

“…• Cryptographic Energy Usage Analysis on Two Common Platforms: We identify two microprocessors, namely, 8-bit AVR [12], [24], [25] and 32-bit ARM [26], [27], from different families that are commonly used in small aerial drones (e.g., Crazyflie [26]). We implemented our framework on both of these processors and assessed the energy consumption.…”

“…(ii) In Dronecrypt, only 32-bit ARM processor was considered and in [21], only 8bit AVR processor was considered. Whereas, in this version, we implement our improved framework on both 8-bit AVR drone processor [12], [24], [25], and 32-bit ARM processor (that Crazyflie 2.0 is equipped with [26], [27]). We evaluate our improved framework in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, and storage overhead.…”

Calculation of the Characteristics of a Uav Launch From a Ramp

“…Lately, the rapid development of unmanned aircraft has considerably expanded the list and content of relevant problems (Iliushko et al 2009;Czerwiński et al 2014). The application of special ramps can be one of the actions taken to increase the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicle application under the condition that there islack of platforms required for their launch (Miller 2009;Kennedy 2006).…”
