This presentation summarizes a student project to build an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) quadcopter. The objectives are to make the quadcopter fly freely and carry a camera to observe landslides. The students have controlled the quadcopter wirelessly but need to develop a controller. They created a dynamics model in Simulink and simulated different PID controller settings. While PID control alone was not sufficient, the students plan to study fuzzy control to automatically tune the PID parameters. Their next steps are to implement the controller and test the quadcopter.

Introduction
Our objective is to make the quadrotor fly,
move freely in the air and can carry a
camera to observe the landslide.

Controlling Quadrotor
Now, we can control the quadrotor
wirelessly by using XBee. But the controller
have to be made to control the quadrotor.
So we have to make a quadrotor simulation
from the dynamics model by using Simulink
to determine a proper setting of PID
controller.

Simulation
If dynamics model of the quadrotor is
known then the simulation can be made.
So, we simulate each parameter of the
quadrotor which are roll, pitch,yaw,and
altitude.

Conclusion
PID controller alone is not enough, so we
have to study another controller. The
interested one is the Fuzzy Control System
that can be used with PID controller to tune
the kp,ki,kd automatically.
