Hello,
First al all, I appologize for my english in advance. I'm Electronic Engineer, and at present, I'm in charge of the execution/fulfilment of an oficial reaserch project which pretends to develop a prototype of a Quadrotor/Quadcopter MAV platform for Robotic and Automation Research for the Department of Electronic Engineering. The main idea is to develop an experimental plant for the study of big nonlinearities presents in the flight systems and the development of robotic algorithms for autonomus and intelligence behaviours.
Certainly, a Quadcopter seems to us an excelent option for trying this objective for many reasons: mathematically complex, mechanically simple, relatively inexpensive, it can be manipulated indoors, and it focus/concentrates on the avionics/electronics (more than the aerodynamics and mechanics) development, what is very convenient/perfect because unfortunely we don't count with mechanical or aerospace engineering programs. Additionally, this project offers a good/nice and sublte/gentle transition between this two fields (from electronics to aerospace engineering), considering that we're planning to work within aerospace electronic engineering avionics in the future. So, in summary, we find this project is a good beginning and the perfect starting point for our all purpouses.
Now, despite the Quadcopter construction could maybe/certainly looks like a so simple task for an engineer, many of you expert hobbist, and such as I saw in some post and how-to guides in internet, this is completly new and unkown for the team and it certainly represents a challange; that's why we put it in a research context, because if I know how to do it, it wouldn't. Although I've research experience I'm really bad in prototyping and I don't know anything about aircraft systems. This was my opportunity to introduce myself in this topic which I love an beyond the aerospace field. And in passing, winning abilities in prototyping.
I suppouse this is one more of the many many similar projects undertaking for ... el valor agregado a mi propuesta radica en...
multiple applications
good capabilities
I'm completly newbie
Now, in addition/order to the project presentation and communication of my research,
COnsidering no experience in prototyping of this kind of systems, it is perfect to begin in an diy comunitiy and in the hobby model aircraft community
I've created this site hoping to find some research colaboration and share my experiance and point of view from a engineer begginer in the topic. Through/Along my periodical posts/publications I will share my experiences and my advances during the development of this project. I pretend to show/expose a step-by-step analysis and development the building and development of a UAV from a person engineer who initially doesn't know anything about this. But that, as an engineer and resercher show you how, by using/applying the engineering method (not scientific one!), is possible
In addition to the project introduction, in this short post I inicially pretend to introduce myself and my project, and the conditions under/over/on which is given. I pretend with this two things: 1) share 2) colaboration 3) Learn of your comments and advices about this because is very important for me your experience above all in the context of the prototyping.
. Im studying my M.Sc. next year and later my Ph.D. and I hope to make some friends
Purpose
Of course as an engineer, I certainly can purpouse a systematic guide (idea) a based on my knowledges in many fields of the technology about what I need.
My objective/aid of publishing this, it is
research view it's different from hobbist view
We work in this topic not just because I like it but because we believe that this could be the future and a good alternative to assist in the battlefield for our solders.
It has been a good purpose becasuse unfortunely we don't work with this kind of technology. I mean UAV or flight systems. Of course we can see drone/uav toys here, but builting them is a different thing.
