The problem

Building an autonomous aerial platform requires coordinated mechanical design, electronics, stabilization, and localization.

My contribution

  • Contributed to the design and integration of the airframe, electronics, and control software.
  • Applied backstepping control for attitude stabilization.
  • Developed an image-processing and neural-network approach to indoor localization.

Technical approach

The project combined a physical quadcopter platform with attitude control and a vision-based approach to indoor positioning.

Results & validation

Achieved stable tethered flight

The platform achieved stable tethered flight. The indoor positioning work was published in Springer MMRMS.
