Modeling of a Drone

Abstract

Drones have a vast future prospective for their application regarding various fields such as the military, surveillance, and civil. The evolvement of UAV will also be revealed to let the reader get a taste of drones. In this project, a basic understanding of the drone is necessary in order to implement the model. In light of that, the drone's theory and equation such as Euler angle, Proportional Integral Derivative control system and dynamics of drone will be introduced. One of the purposes of the project is to model the altitude and position of the drones, based on the Parrot Anafi drone in lab, is namely an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that equipped with complex dynamic systems along with six free degrees of freedom movement. In this project, the objective is to develop and validate the model with simulation graph and obtain a basis for future development. In the future, a variety of usage will be considered. Besides, the computer simulation will also help reduce the cost of testing the drone in different extreme environments.
