Abstract
Whilst different techniques have been explored for designing quadcopters, like other helicopters, the onus of navigating quadcopters rest upon using an efficient controller for controlling all its available DOF. Designing a rugged and robust universal control-system for quadcopter, in the face of environmental disturbances and uncertainties, are challenging task for control-engineer.
It is universally agreed that simulation and software models are not exact representation of physical systems and their behaviors. This paper goes behind modeling and simulations of quadcopters and it controller; it present a real-time hardware demonstration of a quadcopter and it controller. In this paper a quadcopter and a PID-controller were modeled mathematically and designed in MATLAB/ SIMULINK. A hardware quadcopter prototype was also constructed.
