Development of target localization and tracking for VTOL (vertical take off & landing) UAVs (I)

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is currently being researched and used both for both military use and civil purposes. Missions or task that are too difficult or that poses a great risk to a person’s life can then be helped by using UAV semi-autonomous or autonomous. This report shall go through the building of the UAV hardware structure and also the control loops that helped its stabilisation in mid-air, altitude control and then position control. This project aims to build an UAV that can achieve height and position control by using the help of a coordinate system. The UAV platform consist of both hardware and software, in this project a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) is used, by using the means of a quadrotor.Bachelor of Engineerin
