3. About VTOL Systems
A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is one
that can hover, take off, and land vertically. This
classification includes fixed-wing aircraft as well as
helicopters and other aircraft with powered rotors, such
as cyclogyros/cyclocopters and tilt rotors.
A quad copter, also called a quad rotor helicopter, quad
rotor, is a multicolor helicopter that is lifted and
propelled by four rotors.
Next Slide has a picture of Quadcopter.
5. Objective of Project
Objective : Modeling and PID Controller Design for a Quadrotor Unmanned Air
Vehicle
Our Project presents the modeling of a four rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)
unmanned air vehicle known as the quadrotor aircraft. It presents a new model design
method for the flight control of an autonomous quad rotor . The dynamic model of the
quad-rotor, which is an under actuated aircraft with fixed four pitch angle rotors, will
be described.
This paper explains the developments of a PID (proportionalintegral- derivative)
control method to obtain stability in flying the Quad-rotor flying object. The model
has four input forces which are basically the thrust provided by each propeller
connected to each rotor with fixed angle. Forward (backward) motion is maintained by
increasing (decreasing) speed of front (rear) rotor speed while decreasing (increasing)
rear (front) rotor speed simultaneously which means changing the pitch angle. Left
and right motion is accomplished by changing roll angle by the same way. The front
and rear motors rotate counter-clockwise while other motors rotate clockwise so that
the yaw command is derived by increasing (decreasing) counter-clockwise motors
speed while decreasing (increasing) clockwise motor speeds.
6. About VAAYU-UAV
VAAYU-UAV is a multirotor which represents a
technological dream achieved by a team of
undergraduate of AIACTR students with the aim to
develop a VTOL system for Aerial Surveillance.
The VAAYU has been designed by fusion of research
work in the field of mechanical, electronics , control
system, and embedded programming.
7. Statement About The Problem-
existing System
In contrast to terrestrial mobile robots, for which it is often
possible to limit the model to kinematics, the control of
aerial robots (quadrotor) requires dynamics in order to
account for gravity effects and aerodynamic forces . In
general, existing quadrotor dynamic models are developed on
the hypothesis of a unique rigid body which is a restrictive
hypothesis that does not account for the fact that the system
is composed of five rigid bodies: four rotors and a crossing
body frame. This makes the explanation of several aspects,
like gyroscopic effects, very difficult. Additionally,
simplification hypotheses are generally introduced early in
the model development and leads in general to misleading
interpretations
