......@@ -9,16 +9,16 @@ Since 1998, MicroCART has been building aerial robots. Currently, we are
building a quadcopter that can fly autonomously.
MicroCART has 3 areas of development:
- The quadcopter itself
- The **quadcopter** itself
- The quadcopter has been built from the ground up, incorporating a
Zybo board that provides the processor and a FPGA, an IMU sensor, motors,
props, a LiPo battery, a receiver for manual remote control, and a frame
that holds it all together.
- The ground station
- The **ground station**
- The ground station is responsible for issuing important data to the quad
(like position data from the camera system) and issuing commands to the quad
for things like configuration and path following directives.
- The Controls Model
- The **controls model**
- The quadcopter processor is programmed to implement a PID controller. We use
a Simulink model to streamline the PID tuning process and to facilitate
effective characterization of the quad.
