AR.Drone autonomous control and position determination

In this thesis first a study is conducted on which position determination method should be used in a UAV and especially in the Parrot AR.Drone. Then an autonomous control for the AR.Drone is designed. The best position determination method in this case appeared to be a combination of a GPS sensor and a barometer. The autonomous control is designed with a three layer model. The four control parameters of the Parrot AR.Drone are controlled by this control model.Electrical EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
