Description
Summary:碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 航太與系統工程學系 === 102 === In recent years, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is widely used and has been transited from the remote control style to autonomous flight. UAV was also applied to the military and the civilian usages; especially, the Multi-axis UAV which has drawn more attention in the field of aerial photography and exploration due to its high stability. This paper is mainly to put to use Arduino as the core for developing the augmented autonomous navigation and control system. After manipulating and calculating the data with the signals from GPS receiver and the waypoints or the target location, the Arduino precedes the navigation by means of sending the PWM commands to the on-board flight control system of the Multi-axis UAV; in the meantime, the stability of this vehicle is still controlled by its original on-board system. Besides, a ground control system (GCS) which serves as monitoring interface and control device has also been developed with LabVIEW. The mission related information, including the new waypoints and the health status such as position, velocity, and attitude of the UAV, can also be uploaded and downloaded by above GCS through the wireless transceivers.
