Design, construction and manually or autonomously control of an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The era of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones exclusively for military purposes is history. Today special emphasis is being held by the major technology companies on this sector, recognizing the huge impact it can have on society. The motivation of this final year project was to being able to build one of these vehicles from scratch. Taking into consideration the selection the components to be used, the study of UAV´s dynamics and the design of the control algorithms. The knowledge acquired will enable us to work in future projects with a platform completely dominated.
