Stability mechanism of an quadrotor for easy sprayer aerial vehicle

Abstract

Technology of unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) as a multi-purpose aircraft received a very high encouragement nowadays. This is because many applications can be done by UAVs, such as military, agriculture, surveillance and others. Therefore, a prototype model UAVs quadrotor has develop and added to it agriculture applications that is ability to spray poisons and fertilizers in the paddy fields as well as replace manpower. In the process of building this quadrotor, software SolidWork 2009 is used to develop this model first in the software before the actual model was develop. When designing a model, must use the software first in the durability test. Algor software is use to analyze the stress that could bear on the model quadrotor. IMU sensor 5 Degree of Freedom is use to measure the stability for quadrotor. Signal or data from the IMU sensor reads by the PIC 16F877A to analyze and take the action to make it stable. Roll and pitch value must on zero value that means the quadrotor in static condition The data from IMU also show in the GUI (Graphic User Interface) using LabVIEW software.
