Abstract :
This paper presents the complete design of a quadrotor UAV, named VORTEX, comprising its architecture and control. The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for surveillance, observation and security gives lots of possibilities to develop new technologies. The aim of this project was to develop a low-cost modular platform under tight constraints, namely only five students and a limited budget (450 €). This demonstrates the ability to build non-commercial, competitive academic platforms for control education through flying robotics.
