Design of auto following quadcopter control system based on dynamic waypoint

Research about quadcopter has been done for many purposes. This research designed auto following control system (tracking object) quadcopter using GPS (Global Positioning System) as an equipment to hand over current data location from determined object. Design was started with drawing 3D model of quadcopter using CAD software to obtain quadcopter’s physical data such as mass and inertia. Then the dynamic open loop simulations executed using a software which mathematical models were made linearly with single input-single output (SISO) approach. Next, after receiving a transient response in the open loop system, simulation process was continued by giving PID controller to each of them pitch, roll, yaw, altitude, longitudinal, and lateral motion. The best result of simulation was when PD compensator applied. Simulation process in the main motion (roll, pitch, yaw and vertical) generated desired transient response with settling time < 2 seconds and overshoot < 30%. Simulation result on longitudinal and latera...
