A PC-to-RC circuit adopted in thisresearch provides a bridge between the control software implemented on the PC andconventional RC transmitter.With this configuration the aerial robot is about the simplest autonomous aerial robot possible.This simplicity makes it easy for students unfamiliar with autonomous aerial robots tounderstand the system, keeps the system cost low, and allows the existence of a truly miniatureautonomous aerial robots. The simplicity also provides engineering challenges, such asnavigating using only the infrequent sensor data from the GPS.Graduate students from the department of Aerospace Engineering are participating in this project,conducted over 10 months.
