AC 2008-1035: DEVELOPMENT OF A PC-CONTROLLED AUTONOMOUSAERIAL ROBOTSung Kyung Hong, Sejong UniversityMin-kee Hong, Cheong-Shim International AcademyYoon-ki Hong, Cheong-Shim International AcademyJong-hyun Hwang, Sejong University Page 13.412.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Development of a PC- Controlled Autonomous Aerial RobotAbstractThe currently employed autonomous aerial robot uses a complex system of GPS(GlobalPositioning System), INS(Inertial Navigation System), pressure meter, and so on. Also, the aerialrobot carries the control algorithm in FCC(Flight Control Computers). However, in the case of asmall aerial robot or MAV(Micro Air vehicle), it is
including a detailed list of needs, considerations, and compromises. Discuss all design trade-offs balancing ship space, size, and cost with safe and secure helicopter operations. This is a research project; you are expected to demonstrate knowledge beyond that contained in wikipedia or presented in the course notes. Team work is a must. Your grade on Part B will be determined in part by the grades assigned to you by your teammates!Teams of four were assigned by the instructor balancing aerospace engineer/naval architectrepresentation and relative student strengths in each group. While students embraced the teamnature and seemed highly able to resolve conflicts such as where to put the landing deck, if thereshould be a hangar, limitations

astationary regulated power supply.The setup shown in Fig. 4b is constructed to determine the pressure distribution under theplatform over a solid ground. Pressure taps on the platform are connected to Dwyer Magnehelicpressure gauges via plastic hoses and multi-way valves. The incident jets are provided by airblowers, such as Jabsco Model 35440-Series and Peerless D8C model. The velocity field in thejets is measured by United Sensor Pitot-static probes.Fig. 4. (a) Static thrust model test in a pool. (b) Test rig for measuring pressure distribution underthe platform.Examples of results obtained in these tests are shown in Fig. 5. The recovered static thrust of themodel in the pool (Fig. 5a) increases with increasing propulsor thrust and the stern flap

Underwaterrobotics has an added element of difficulty and challenge that students accept and thrive on.Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) is a foundation that has fordecades encouraged the spread of unmanned vehicle technology both through professionalconferences and student educational competitions. This group, together with the Office of NavalResearch, has supported for the past 10 years a very successful international competition wherestudent teams design, build and swim
