Study On Design and Control of A Quadrotor UAV: NAME: Samir Omar B Mohd. Jahaya Matric: 0724103

This study aimed to develop a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform for future research in surveillance and rescue operations. The objectives were to design a quadrotor and determine a suitable controller. A PID controller was simulated using MATLAB Simulink to test if it could provide stability. Two motor types, brushed DC and brushless DC, were experimentally compared based on size, thrust, lifetime, and price. The simulation sought to control the quadrotor's roll, pitch, yaw, and altitude using PID controllers. Results showed the brushless DC motor was smaller, generated higher thrust, and had a longer lifetime but at a higher price compared to the brushed DC motor.

Study on Design and Control of a Quadrotor UAV

NAME : Samir Omar b Mohd. Jahaya Matric : 0724103

INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION:

UAV = Unmanned Aerial Vehicle QUAD = Term related to 4 ROTOR = Rotating parts=Motor + propeller

OBJECTIVES

To Develop a platform for future research in surveillance and rescue operation. To determine a good design and controller for the quadrotor
RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Does PID controller able to provide stability to the quadrotor? What type of motor that suitable for the quadrotor??

HISTORY
1906 -Charles Richet (Frenchman) built a small

un-piloted copter. 1907 Jack Louis (Frenchman) constructed the Gyroplane 1. Able to lift 1.5m before crashing to the ground. 1920 Ettiene Oemichen (Frenchman) built a copter with 4 propeller and 4 hydrogen balloons to increase stability. 1922- Dr.George D. Bothezat added two more propellers for the purpose of easy maneuver.

METHODOLOGY
Qualitative approach :

- Observation - Simulation
Observation procedure

- two types of motors were selected 1. Brushed DC motor (Cobalt 2400T) 2. Brushless DC motor (Turnigy X7) - Ensure the specs are same (voltage , power, current)

-Next, the motors were attached to a bar, the propeller was inverted to provide thrust downward.
-The center of the bar was placed on a digital weight scale. - reading from both motors were taken. - The duration for both motors able to operates were observed.

SIMULATION

Software used : Simulink (Matlab) 1. Each of the PID controllers have their own comple own complex algorithm. 2.The desired input (desired location) was set as x(lateral motion), y(lateral mo motion), and z(altitude). 3.All the inputs was set in the main sysyte system. (X=0,Y=0,Z=20) 4.The result obtained by double clicking

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE SIMULATION?


The quadrotor has four parameters that

must be controlled:

To achieve a stable flight : Zd = Z

Altitude, Yaw =Pitch

= Roll= 0 The simulation should be able to provide

RESULTS
DC MOTOR
BRUSHED MOTOR Size large (30mm) Max Thrust low (7.883N) BRUSHLESS MOTOR Size small (20mm) Max Thrust higher (9.596N)

Lifetime short (10 min) Lifetime longer (15 min) Price cheap (RM14 each) Price Expensive (RM 32 each)

SIMULATION RESULT

Roll Pitch

Yaw Altitude
