Quadcopters and other styles of drones are extremely popular, partly because they have sophisticated programmed control systems that allow them to be stable and fly autonomously with very little human intervention. Their four propellers are spun in precise ways to control the quadcopter in six different degrees of freedom. This is the first video in a series in which we walk through the process of designing a control system that will get a drone to hover at a fixed altitude.

• Introduction to Simulink Hardware Support for PARROT Minidrones: http://bit.ly/2CapENk
This video describes the sensors that come with the Mambo, a parrot minidrone that interfaces with MATLAB® and Simulink®. Future videos will show how we can use these sensors to estimate system states like altitude and speed.

This video also describes how the four propellers can be configured and spun in specific ways that allow the drone to independently roll, pitch, yaw, and thrust.

With knowledge of the sensors, actuators, and the dynamics of the drone itself, we’ll be prepared to develop the control system over the rest of this series.

Cool, very cool. Thanks for the video!
Great video! As it happens I am currently taking a Udacity class on using deep learning neutral networks to control a QC. Specifically Deep Q Learning or Actor/Critic. I’m wondering what’s your take on this?
thank you very much! i’m a fan ever since I studied control system course in the university. mathworks clearly done a smart move by working with you, with their software and your explanation the new generation of engineers shell rise
are there any cheaper alternatives to parrot drone to do control on?
Hello, I have several complete quadcopter carcasses, with the intention of making them fly with a TM4C123GH6PM (TIVA C from TI). I have made many applications using Simulink Code Generator for dsPIC, PIC18, Arduino and ARM. It will be possible that with this series of videos, I can finish my project of making my own quadrocopters fly?. I have made and do many control applications for the oil industry with systems embedded in microcontrollers. Thanks.
Now I’m doing code with stateflow. Are there series of videos explaining the use of state machines for control applications? Thank you.
Nice job Brian, this is a very cool project/series; thank you for doing this!
I am one of your most dedicated fans!,,,Your name became like a brand for me :), thanks for the videos. please don’t ever stop
very nice video explaining the detail about Drone configuration and control flow! really appreciate your hard work!
Hi bryan, just to ask how can i linearize my induction motor driving the pump so that i can get the transfer function of it for a control design. right now what i have is the mathematical model of the induction motor and confuse what to do next. please advise thanks
You are an amazing instructor. Thank you.
at 6:50 u said, it is an underactuated system(4 motors and 6 DOF) hence all directions cannot be controlled. But it’s the same case with hexacopter(6 motors) and octacopter (8 motors). Little confused. Waiting for your reply. TIA 🙂
what if i want too use lidar lite v3 type sensor in this with 9 dof
