Quadrotor UAV Design

Independent Design Project

Quadrotor UAV

Write a design project to demonstrate an understanding of robotic design processes, fundamentals, and interactions by designing a simple robot to utilize sensors, central processing, and locomotion/physical interaction.

Course topics include robotics foundations in kinematics, dynamics, control, motion planning, trajectory generation, programming, telemetry, sensor integration, remote operation, and design.

· a perceived need (i.e., mission/use) that could be met through the use of a robotic system

· why such a need exists and how a robotic system would be well suited to perform

· operational domain of the mission (e.g., fixed-position, ground, aerial, water, or exo-planetary/space)

· subsystems that you propose to include in your design based on your review of similar systems

· Detailed introduction identifying the perceived need and the operational domain of the system.

· A high-level architectural design diagram of the system.

· Section placeholders (headings only):

· a detailed design section, subdivided into relevant subsections.

· a design decision section.

· a logic design section with logic design diagram(s) and supporting subsections.

A reference section with at least eight supporting reference citations in current APA format.

The student will examine the robotics and control design decisions specific to unmanned systems, including analysis of robots, sensing and programmed response, mobile robots, kinematics and dynamics, localization and navigation. The student will comprehend theoretical aspects of kinematics, dynamics, and controls of robotic systems.

Students will apply intelligent control and fuzzy logic principles while demonstrating a comprehension of central processing. The student will understand the basic sensory, interaction, and processing equipment for robotic systems and work with components and tools used in the current industry. 

The students will be able to enhance the performance of robotic systems by augmenting with sensors and custom programming. 

The finished product should contain detailed information regarding the design of the system including applicable diagrams (architectural, design, and logic), pseudo-code or logical design details, subsystem design details, rationale for selection of components/subsystem elements, and at least 15+ references supporting design and use of system.You should remember that the nature of the class is specific to robotics and control so the focus of the paper should revolve around this theme. Projects that do not address this topic, but focus instead on other important, but irrelevant UAS or manned aircraft issues will not grade well. The paper should have 10+ pages of content, use at least 15 credible citations, and be prepared using current APA standards. Writing should show college level work. Do not forget the basics of spelling, grammar, and format.
