| Summary: | Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has become the significantly importance in the military
applications and in the civil domain, there is a rapidly increase of people taking it up as a hobby.
The purpose of having a UAV is to reduce the danger for human, for missions or task that is too
difficult or might have great risk to person life, therefore the solution is to use UAV and it can be
control by semi-autonomous or fully autonomous.
This report will starts with the UAV hardware structure follow by the software structure then
algorithm. The whole hardware, is been built by scrap material. This project aims to build an
UAV that can go through obstacle with the help of image processing and at the same time
dropping the payload at a specify point and return to home position. The UAV platform used in
this project consist of Quadcopter with APM 2.5 processor, Xbee, wireless webcam, ultra sonic
sensor, optical flow sensor. For the software part, Arduino 1.01 is used as a platform. |
