Abstract:
This study was design to build the Flying Robot Surveyor (FRS) from any activity, to be used in a monitoring a high building or home maintenance for inspection needed. High labour cost due life insurance for workers, hired worker skill with high salary for maintenance during monitoring and surveying. The result that to overcome the problem to survey and monitoring the building are by using FRS. It has the ability to take off and landing vertically. The FRS is changing the flight direction by manipulating the rotor speed. Thus, it does not require a complicated mechanical structure like the conventional helicopter and it is potentially easier to be controlled. Furthermore, recent advancement in miniature electric motor and lightweight battery has encouraged the development in the battery powered Quad-Rotor Flying Robot. This project is concerned about the enhancement and further development of the previous project. This robot is to be controlled by using the RC transmitter for aerial surveillance operation. This report explains the design and construction of the frame, electronic circuit and also the programming of the robot. The enhanced version of the FRS was built from the carbon fibre tube. The motors and propellers for the RC aircraft were used as the power system for the robot. The 7.4V Li-Po battery was used as the power source for the robot. The brain of the robot was the Multi –Wii Pro 2.0 board. Several sensors such as gyro sensor, accelerometer and Accelerometer sensors were incorporated into the robot. A complementary filter has been developed for the fusion of the readings from several sensors. The FRS has been successfully constructed and it was able to perform aerial surveillance operation by using the on board with dual IP camera. All the objectives of this project were fully accomplished.
