Synchronizing the motion of a quadrocopter to music

2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2010
This paper presents a quadrocopter flying in rhythm to music. The quadrocopter performs a periodic side-to-side motion in time to a musical beat. Underlying controllers are designed that stabilize the vehicle and produce a swinging motion. Synchronization is then achieved by using concepts from phase-locked loops.

Identification and PID control for a quadrocopter

2014 International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP), 2014
Identification and control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been a topic of interest in recent years due to several applications they are used for, some examples could be: surveillance or cooperative robotics. This paper shows the parameter identification and control of the AR Drone®, a quadrocopter from Parrot®; the parameter identification was ...

3D trajectory control for quadrocopter

2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
The demand for unattended aerial systems capable of fulfilling e.g. surveillance tasks in contaminated or inaccessible areas without any assistance of a human pilot is the motivation for the investigation of a 3D trajectory control. Hence, this paper deals with the development of such a control algorithm able to follow any kind of 3D trajectory within ...

Attitude estimation and control of a quadrocopter

2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
The research interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has grown rapidly over the past decade. UAV applications range from purely scientific over civil to military. Technical advances in sensor and signal processing technologies enable the design of light weight and economic airborne platforms. This paper presents a complete mechatronic design process

Comparing approaches to quadrocopter control

2014 23rd International Conference on Robotics in Alpe-Adria-Danube Region (RAAD), 2014
The present paper compares three approaches on a quadrocopter orientation and altitude control: the most frequently used PD and PID control, the Integral Backstepping methods and a nonlinear decomposition control. All these methods are verified and evaluated by simulation. The whole proposal was applied in Matlab with the described nonlinear model. The

Using quadrocopter as a pentest tool

Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Security of Information and Networks, 2013
This paper describes the creation of a prototype "small" unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for safety audit of information systems (pentest) [1, 2]. Such devices can seamlessly penetrate in closed facilities. It increases the chances compromising wireless networks available only in closed facilities. As base for the project was Parrot AR.Drone 2 and single-

Cooperative quadrocopter ball throwing and catching

2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2012
This paper presents a method for enabling a fleet of circularly arranged quadrocopters to throw and catch balls with a net. Based on a first-principles model of the net forces, nominal inputs for all involved vehicles are derived for arbitrary target trajectories of the net.

Real-Time Trajectory Generation for Quadrocopters

IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2015
This paper presents a trajectory generation algorithm that efficiently computes high-performance flight trajectories that are capable of moving a quadrocopter from a large class of initial states to a given target point that will be reached at rest. The approach consists of planning separate trajectories in each of the three translational degrees of ...

Cognitive control of quadrocopter using supervisor

2013 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), 2013
In this paper we present a mathematical model of a quadrocopter, together with a complete supervisor solution for path planning to cover a designated area with a quadrocopter type UAV. The supervisor is also able to optimize and recalibrate its route in the case of unexpected events during flight, such as sudden changes in wind, or someone physically ...

Knowledge transfer for high-performance quadrocopter maneuvers

2013 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013
Iterative Learning Control algorithms are based on the premise that “practice makes perfect”. By iteratively performing an action, repetitive errors can be learned and accounted for in subsequent iterations, in a non-causal and feedforward manner. This method has been previously implemented for a quadrocopter system, enabling the quadrocopter to learn ...
