Abstract

This paper describes recent research on the design and implement of a small-scaled rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle (RUAV) system. This platform is going to be used as a testbed for experimentally evaluating advanced control methodologies dedicated on improving the maneuverability, reliability as well as autonomy of RUAV. Sensors and controller are implemented onboard. The full system has been tested successfully in the remote-controlled mode. A control scheme based on a simplified thrust-torque model, which is for the initial flight test, is also presented.
