Project:
Determining the attitude and stabilization of the small-scale quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Data from low frequencies parts of the magnetometer will be fused to the high-frequency part of the gyroscope to observe the performance of quadrotor when rotating the test-bed that will be fixed on one axis to ensure there is stability.
For this project, you will need to perform the following:
- Discuss the perceived need of a new sensing and processing subsystem as it relates to a current unmanned system application, management practice, or operational policy and the need for safety, efficiency, and effectiveness (why is it needed?).
- Identify innovative new technologies, methods, processes, or concepts relating to your perceived need.
- Provide a requirements specification associated with your perceived need (what it must be capable of, design imposed limits, etc.).
- Present possible sensing and processing options for unmanned systems based on the operational environment and availability of new technology, methods, processes, or concepts.
- Discuss the appropriateness of considered elements/components to support the intended use, including the benefits, limitations, and constraints.
- Formulate a specific solution or research strategy to address the perceived need, including a theory of operation, any appropriate recommendations or conclusions, and supporting references.
- Utilize an appropriate research method and statistical analysis (if applicable) to obtain data and reference materials to support your work.
- Recommend future research strategies to better understand the issue and add to the collective body of knowledge associated with unmanned systems.
- Include diagrams or multimedia materials depicting an overview of the research, designs, operations, and supporting information.
- 7 to 9 pages for your Development Project at the end of the term (this excludes your cover page, references, and appendix).
