Project Type MQP Submission date 2008-04-23 Authors Mark Dupuis, ME Jonathan Gibbons, jonored@WPI.EDU, ME Maximillian Hobson-Dupont, ME Alexander S Knight, ME Artem Lepilov, ME Michael Monfreda, ME George Mungai, ME URN E-project-042308-215545 Title Design Optimization of a Quad-Rotor Capable of Autonomous Flight Advisors Demetriou, Michael A., ME Olinger, David J, ME Availability unrestricted Abstract
An autonomous quad-rotor is an aerial helicopter with four horizontal rotors designed in a square configuration capable of locating lost or jeopardized victims, gathering military intelligence, or surveillance. The project team designed a miniaturized quad-rotor able to determine its own attitude through an onboard sensor system. A computer program using formulated control equations and an onboard processing system enables the quad-rotor to fly to a pre-determined position while correcting its attitude, which results in steady level autonomous flight.
