Control System Design for an Experimental Quadrotor Vehicle

Taesam Kang

Abstract


Developed is a prototype quadrotor helicopter and its control system. The proposed quadrotor uses four brushless DC motors, a microprocessor for the control of it, two batteries, an RC receiver, and a laser-cut frame of acrylic. We
focused on designing a quadrotor which can be fabricated with ease and with low cost so that it could be used for experimental research and education of the quadrotor system. Preliminary test result of the proposed quadrotor demonstrates that it can be used effectively for the test and development of a quadrotor control system.
