Construction of a quadcopter for autonomous and teleoperated navigation

This work presents the construction and autonomous and tele-operated control of a miniature quadcopter for applications in confined spaces, more specifically in corridors, both indoor and outdoor. Furthermore, the development of a Human Machine Interface that simulates the behavior of the UAV to different control strategies, and performs two-way communication between the ground station and the quadcopter is presents. Finally, real experiments results are presented and discussed, which validate the construction of the UAV and the proposed controller.
