Diseño e implementación de minidrones (mini uavs) : diseño e implementación de 2 prototipos de minidrones.

Abstract

The present integration project aims to present two mathematical models of mini UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) of the rotary-wing type, specifically a quadcopter and a hexacopter, in order to create a simulation platform within the Simulink environment for take-off and landing tests and future control algorithm development. The models are simulated based on the kinematic and dynamic analysis of these aircraft, studying the different configurations they may have, reviewing flight dynamics equations, and the aerodynamic effects they may experience to enhance the fidelity of the results. Each modeled vehicle experiment similar tests to identify performance differences. Additionally, the project includes an analysis of the characteristics that classify a UAV as mini, as well as the construction standards within parameters established by specialized organizations and the various applications they can be integrated into. A guide to the mechanical and electronic components of the aerial vehicle is also included, along with a cost analysis to determine if constructing the platform is profitable.
