Abstract

This paper represents Quadcopter (QC) as a low-weight and low-cost autonomous flight capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for delivering parcel ordered by online by using an android device as its core on-board processing unit. This QC by following Google map can locate and navigate destination. This paper demonstrates the QCs capability of delivering parcel ordered by online and coming back to the starting place. The promising result of this method enables future research on using QC for delivering parcel.
