The aim of the project was to develop a prototype for a new UAV competition. The electronic system of the prototype had to able to track an object, make a picture of it and send it to a ground...

AR.Drone autonomous control and position determination

In this thesis first a study is conducted on which position determination method should be used in a UAV and especially in the Parrot AR.Drone. Then an autonomous control for the AR.Drone is designed. The best position determination method in this case appeared to be a combination of a GPS sensor and a barometer. The autonomous control is...
