Project Summary

We will design, manufacture, and test a 3 DOF Hover lab equipment. For this, we will first design a base platform consisting of a slip ring for yawing, and 2D gimbal (plates assembly) for pitch and roll motions. The base platform will be tested using Arduino microcontroller, and then afterwards a quadrotor assembly will be attached to the base platform. A microcontroller will be designed to test various flight controllers for the quadrotor model. The implementation of microcontroller will be done in two ways; (i) using Simulink on the linearized model, (ii) using Arduino microcontroller on the hardware model by writing a C code of designed controller. Moreover, the quadrotor will be able to balance and change attitude angles at command.

Project Objectives

• To study the dynamics and mathematical model of a Quadrotor
•  To linearize the non-linear mathematical model around some operating point
• To get familiarize with the hardware of the model
• To design and manufacture a 3 DOF Hover Quadrotor
• To design a microcontroller to control the attitude of the 3 DOF Hover Quadrotor
• To implement the microcontroller on the model

Project Implementation Method

• Dynamics and Mathematical Modelling of a Quadrotor
• Hardware setup study (components)
• Analysis and Design of Hardware Model
• Setting up Electrical components with Arduino
• Testing of Hardware Model
• Designing and implementing controller (PID/LQR) for Quadrotor (Simulink based)
• Implementation of Microcontroller on test-bed (Arduino based)

Benefits of the Project

Direct Benefits

• Provides a test bed to understand and develop control laws for flight dynamics and control of vertical lift-off vehicles.

Indirect Benefits

• The designed model will provide students a core platform to study the dynamics of a 3-DOF Hover Quadrotor practically.

The Students will be able to implement flight controllers on the designed system.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The final product will be a 3 DOF Hover Quadrotor fixed on a test bed with a microcontroller for testing of various flight controls. The quadrotor will be able to hover at given conditions and change its attitudes at commands, thus the final deliverable will consist of the integrated system of both software and hardware.
