Quadrotor Helicopter with Open Architecture

The article focuses on the design, construction, and testing of a quadrotor helicopter with open architecture, aiming to explore control techniques and promote experimentation in unmanned aerial vehicles. Tools such as MATLAB and Simulink were used to program a classic PID controller, evaluating aspects like error margin and stabilization under perturbations. Additionally, references with the commercial DJI NAZA MLITE controller were implemented to obtain comparative data. The prototype stands out for its flexibility, allowing component upgrades and preventing obsolescence. Finally, the application of advanced techniques, such as fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, is suggested for future research to enhance its functionality and potential.
