Constant Yaw Rate Quadrotor

A new flight mode was implemented on to the modified Arducopter firmware that is capable of maintaining constant yaw rate while the quadrotor is able to be controlled by the pilot in respect to the inertial frame. Such a flight mode can be used in localization applications (SLAM) or imaging. Sensors that have a narrow…

First-Person-View Quadrotor for Teleoperation

Recent attention to FPV racing and FPV experience shows that visual feedback from a teleoperated platform can give a very immersive experience. A FPV quadrotor platform was built to try the FPV experience and the results was satisfying. Visual Feedback is done using a video telemetry on 5.8GHz band. APM 2.7 ruuning Arducopter was used…

Quadcopter for Cansat Droptest

Cansats are a can size satellite used for educating students to teach how to design and implement systems. Cansats are launched in small rockets which drop the cansat in around 100m ~ 3km altitude. From deployment and operation of the satellite is done in the same procedure as of the real satellites. However, in a…

Heavylift Multirotor

A multirotor platform that can robustly maintain its attitude and control precise positions can be used as a low altitude science platform. The multirotor was developed to maintain it’s position while flying up to 4kg of payload. In this project we demonstrate a mission profile by an autonomously controlled multirotor moving in a fixed GPS…

FPV Fixed Wing -Dolphine

This project was a pilot project for implementing a FPV experience to a small UAV called the dolphin. 5.8GHz video telemetry was used for piloting. The payload for video telemetry was too heavy for the airplane and suffered poor altitude control but had a successful flight and insights for future projects.
