Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 自動化工程研究所 === 103 === The research is based on the Ardupilot Mega 2560 flight control board. Ardupilot is a complete embedded control system features with open source code, commonly used for unmanned vehicle auto piloting. The goal of this research is to create the new function of “formation flight” to the Multi-rotor UAVs which equipped with Ardupilot. A series of experiments use two multi-rotor UAV to play the role of leader and wingman. During the automatic flight of UAVs, the leader will continuously send a set of new navigation data to the wingman after the calculation of leader’s current position and heading. This research contributes an easy but novel method to achieve formation flight for numerous Ardupilot-based UAV systems.
