Research Project

Project:

Determining the attitude and stabilization of the small-scale quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Data from low frequencies parts of the magnetometer will be fused to the high-frequency part of the gyroscope to observe the performance of quadrotor when rotating the test-bed that will be fixed on one axis to ensure there is stability.

For this project, you will need to perform the following:

· Discuss the perceived need of a new sensing and processing subsystem as it relates to a current unmanned system application, management practice, or operational policy and the need for safety, efficiency, and effectiveness (why is it needed?).

· Identify innovative new technologies, methods, processes, or concepts relating to your perceived need.

· Provide a requirements specification associated with your perceived need (what it must be capable of, design imposed limits, etc.).

· Present possible sensing and processing options for unmanned systems based on the operational environment and availability of new technology, methods, processes, or concepts.

· Discuss the appropriateness of considered elements/components to support the intended use, including the benefits, limitations, and constraints.

· Formulate a specific solution or research strategy to address the perceived need, including a theory of operation, any appropriate recommendations or conclusions, and supporting references.

· Utilize an appropriate research method and statistical analysis (if applicable) to obtain data and reference materials to support your work.

· Recommend future research strategies to better understand the issue and add to the collective body of knowledge associated with unmanned systems.

· Include diagrams or multimedia materials depicting an overview of the research, designs, operations, and supporting information. 

· 7 to 9 pages for your Development Project at the end of the term (this excludes your cover page, references, and appendix).
