Autonomous Helicopter

at 5:47 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Electronic Hacks, Toy Hacks

 

If you are interested in autonomous systems, this tiny helicopter does a good job for its small size.

“The purpose of this project was the design of a fully autonomous stabilization system intended for systems capable of intelligent programming and navigation. This means that the design focuses mainly on the control feedback systems that control the helicopter’s motors that then provide lift to increase and decrease altitude, and produce a tilt about the helicopter’s central vertical axis which would be used for stabilization and potentially lateral motion. We chose this project because it was an ambitious projected aimed to challenge us as well as provide a level of sophistication that would allow this project to be applicable not only as a semester project but to potentially be used in future projects.”

    Cool project! I think that larger helo kits have the capability of gyro interfacing, don’t they?
