Title Wireless Control Quad-Copter
Supervisor Dr. Amir Aghdam
Description This project aims at implementing a fly-by-wireless control system for a quad-copter. The aerial vehicle is expected to hover and follow a certain trajectory. It will have an IMU sensor and a wireless system on board. Sensor measurements taken in the quad-copter are coded and transmitted to a ground station. From the ground station, control analysis is made to later be transmitted to the propellers which have wireless receivers.
