Abstract

The research an autonomous miniature flying robots has intensified considerably, thanks to the recent growth of civil and military interest in Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV). In this paper a simple control algorithm to stabilize the attitude of a quadrotor aircraft subjected to various disturbances is presented. First, we present a dynamic model of the quadrotor followed by simulation and implementation of a classical PID controller; the results were inconclusive and show the stability of the quadrotor for different disturbances. Secondly, we present the navigation and control technology embedded in a recently commercialized micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) AR.Drone. Test flight stabilization will be conducted on the AR.Drone, experimental results are discussed and interpreted.
