Designing and Building an Autonomous Drone Controlled via Bluetooth from an Android Device

The idea for this work was born from a passion for aircraft and a desire to learn more about them. Combined with the pleasure of programming Android applications in Java, the challenge of building a small drone that could be controlled from a phone, the device that almost everyone is tied to today. A drone is a multirotor aircraft whose lift is generated, unlike fixed-wing aircraft, by a set of rotors. Smaller drones are not necessarily less expensive than medium-sized ones. This is largely due to the fact that the technology and time required to produce brushless motors or brushless motor controllers are the same for both small and large parts.

Abstract

The idea for this work was born from a passion for aircraft and a desire to learn more about them. Combined with the pleasure of programming Android applications in Java, the challenge of building a small drone that could be controlled from a phone, the device that almost everyone is tied to today. A drone is a multirotor aircraft whose lift is generated, unlike fixed-wing aircraft, by a set of rotors. Smaller drones are not necessarily less expensive than medium-sized ones. This is largely due to the fact that the technology and time required to produce brushless motors or brushless motor controllers are the same for both small and large parts.
