Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back COMMAND SYSTEM AND MOVEMENT CONTROL SMALL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE S.V. Karpesh, A.A. Talalaev, M.V. Khachumov A review of domestic and foreign work in the field of building automatic control systems for various small serial unmanned aerial vehicles such as Parrot AR.Drone, Crazyflie 2.0, Blade mQX, AscTec Hummingbird performed. Particular attention is paid to solving the problems of working out various rectilinear movements and typical curves, including using spline interpolation and neural networks. The command system of the quadcopter DJI Phantom 3 Standard is examined in detail. Developed software modules in Python 3, necessary for generating trajectories, flight control and visualization of movements. A series of experiments in the simulation environment and full-scale tests of the apparatus under calm and disturbed air conditions were carried out with piecewise linear testing of typical meander and saw trajectories. Based on tests of the command system, the characteristics of an unmanned vehicle are obtained. The studies conducted are aimed at the subsequent construction of an integrated intelligent system for autonomous control of unmanned aerial vehicles. Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicle, command system, modeling, development of piecewise linear trajectories, full-scale tests, disturbances, autonomous control.
