Design of a Quadcopter UAV for Flood Area Data Analysis

Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) are extensively used in military and civil applications. This paper proposes the design of Quad rotor, based on PID control with Type 2 Fuzzy Logic application. It can be used for collection data in the flood prone areas. A camera is connected with the Quad copter. The feedback obtained from the model will be updated in the main database when the model is subjected to any natural calamity. The PID Control helps in automating the vehicle by controlling the uncertainties of its 4 distinct motions; throttle, roll, pitch and yaw respectively. The Type 2 fuzzy logic provides certain rules along with type reduction for actuating the different controls. The Interval Type 2 fuzzy logic is used because of its intelligence and potential to deal effectively with high nonlinear systems, imprecise data and reduces the noise level effectively than Type 1 Fuzzy Logic. The use of this type of Controller makes the system modular and increases its adaptability and robustness. Further, the work can be focused upon the detailed study of the real world communication of the quad rotor with the environment.
