PIRX~(3D) - Pilotless Reconfigurable Experimental UAV

摘要

The combination of smart control algorithms, miniaturized avionics and optimized 3D printing technology is the base of a powerful UAV. The mechanical construction of the sensor, payload and driving module allows an ideal adjustment to different mission scenarios. Using a test environment of a flight simulator and an external motion platform allows testing of PID control algorithms in the laboratory under realistic conditions. The implementation of the results is carried out on an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller. Within the UAV, the data are exchanged under hard real-time conditions on the Futaba SBUS.2 bus system. All mechanical modules have their own control processor. For an ideal adaptation to the aerodynamics, components of the airframe will be manufactured by 3D printers.
