DSP (Digital Signal Processor)-based quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous hover control system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a DSP (Digital Signal Processor)-based quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous hover control system and method. The control system is provided with four screw propellers and control units which are arranged on four airfoils respectively; and each control unit is that a master control unit is connected to a ground computer through a wireless network, and a receiver is connected with a signal conversion module and a manual / automatic switching chip in sequence, transmits a received signal transmitted by a remote controller into the manual / automatic switching chip through the signal conversion module, is also connected with the manual / automatic switching chip through the master control unit and is used for transmitting the received signal to the manual / automatic switching chip through the master control unit for controlling driving units to drive direct current brushless motors on the four screw propellers to work. According to the method, kalman filtering processing is performed on sonar data to obtain accurate height data and driver control. According to the system and the method, the autonomous flight capacity of a micro quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the adaptability to the environment can be effectively enhanced, and the autonomous flight control under indoor environments and outdoor environments can be finished.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an autonomous hovering control method of an unmanned aerial vehicle. In particular, it relates to a DSP-based four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous hovering control system and method. Background technique [0002] An unmanned aerial vehicle refers to an unmanned, autonomously propelled aircraft that is controlled by radio remote control or its own program, uses aerodynamics to fly, and can be recycled and reused.
