Abstract :
This paper documents the development of a quad-copter with indoor control scheme and navigation capability. A stabilized flying control system including traditional PID controller, Raspberry Pi onboard flight computer and electronic speed controller was developed to provide the basic platform for the quad-copter. PID tuning was utilized optimize the performance. In addition, RGB and depth cameras and other sensors were deployed to enable remote semi-autonomous control.
