Stability control of a quadcopter

Autonomous quadcopter are a part of the future. Unmanned aerial vehicles have been widely applied in military and commercial fields. Unmanned four rotor helicopters are mostly used for search and rescue, surveillance, reconnaissance, data acquisition and for many other applications. Their potential applications include border patrol, wide fire monitoring, traffic monitoring, mineral exploration and transportation. To create a 6DOF control system a mathematical model was linearized. For the design of this control system tools such as Matlab and Simulink are chosen. When compared to conventional helicopter, quadrotors have several advantages over fixed-wing airplanes. They can move in any direction and are capable of hovering and fly at low speeds. Quadcopter have hovering and VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) capabilities. In other words they have large maneuverability, do not require large takeoff and landing site and can execute special tasks in dangerous and inaccessible environments. These are mechanically simple and demand low manufacturing and operational costs and are easy to control. In my research I have built a controller for hover stabilization and it’s been successful. Results represents the controller is been successfully designed
