The document discusses a flight control system for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. It describes receiving sensor data from the Parrot Mambo quadrotor drone through Bluetooth connections in Matlab/Simulink. It then outlines the design which includes a camera, quadrotor, joystick, and cockpit glasses. Advantages of quadrotors include their small size, ease of construction, available controllers, and software capabilities, while disadvantages are low payload capacity, fragility, and hacking vulnerability. Applications discussed are research, filming, construction monitoring, mapping, and military/law enforcement uses.

The Parrot Mambo Mini Drone

Motherboard for Parrot Mambo. The motherboard includes the latest Parrot SIP6
chipset with ARM A9 clocked at 800 MHz. The Parrot Mambo motherboard runs
on Linux.
Pressure sensor is
indirectly measuring altitude
as the drone climbs in
altitude the air pressure
drops slightly and use this
slight change in pressure to
estimate the altitude of the
drone

Gyrosensor measures
angular rate from the IMU
Gyroscope
Ultrasound Sensor that's used to
measure vertical distances , it sends out a
high-frequency sound pulse and measures
how long it takes that pulse to bounce off the
floor and return back to the sensor from the
measured time distance between the floor
and the drone can be calculated at least up to
about 13 feet

Vertical Camera it's taking images at 60


frames per second and using an image
processing technique called optical flow to
determine how objects are moving between
one frame and the next from this apparent
motion the mini drone can estimate
horizontal motion and speed
