Design & implementation of an UAV (Drone) with flight data record

This paper proposed the development of an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which is controlled by wireless technology through graphical user interface (GUI). This proposed design capable to fly autonomously and also capable to track pre loaded mission automatically. Proposed mathematical model and artificial algorithm control technique by which quad rotor can capable to fly autonomously, trajectory tracking, graceful motion and accurate altitude hold performance. In this system author used IMU 9DOF (3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope & 3-axis magnetometer) which ensure it smooth movement, graceful motion and trajectory tracing. GPS system and barometric sensor make it more efficient in autonomous mode. Several PID loops designed to get better stability and performance in different mode. All signals are processed by a powerful high speed controller board which makes it more efficient and effective. This work aimed to design a quad copter that will try stable its position according to preferred altitude. Also here stability check has been done with pitch and roll. All data and result discussed at the end of paper.
