Comparative analysis of technological advancements in Hexacopters: Assessment

Rapid technological advances in electronics, computers, software applications and the aerospace industry have dramatically decreased the cost of implementation while increasing the availability of Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs are those flying aircrafts that runs without an onboard pilot. They are controlled through a computer or remote. The main motive of this survey is to scrutinize theoretical standpoint on various categories of UAVs, designing, elucidation of different autopilot boards and sensors used in hexacopter. To leverage the capability for performing a mission, efficient methods for navigation are required. A Compendium on Kalman filters in UAVs and scope of the proposed system are discussed. Finally, integration of all the components with APM and the result of flying a copter with a photograph is presented.
