Attitude Control and Low Cost Design of UAV Bicopter (2309.08209v1)

Abstract: This paper present a control system for the attitude and low cost design of a Bicopter. The control system uses a PID controller that receives feedback from an IMU to calculate control inputs that adjust the Bicopters attitude (roll, pitch and yaw angles) which is resistant to disturbances (wind noise) on a test bed. The control system is implemented on a hardware platform consisting of a Bicopter, an IMU sensor, and a microcontroller with low cost design. In mechanical design, the Bicopter is designed to more closely resemble the letter "V" so that the distribution of the centre of mass (CoM) of the Bicopter can be such that the servomotor torque reaction is parallel to the axis of rotation of the Bicopter during the movement of the pitch angle attitude. In electronic design, the Bicopter was developed using the ATmega328P microcontroller.
