Development of control system for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle using LoR...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In the past decades, there has been a growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for educational, research, business, and military purposes. The most critical data for a flight system is the telemetry data from the GPS and wireless transmitter and also from the gyroscope and accelerometer. The objective of this paper is to develop a control system for UAV using long-range wireless communication and GPS. First, Matlab simulation was conducted to obtain an optimum PID gains controller. Then LoRa wireless was evaluated during clear and rainy days. Static and dynamic points measurement was conducted to validate and optimize GPS accuracy. GeoMapping in Matlab and Google GPS GeoPlanner were then used to analyze the traveled UAV flight path.
We will introduce a development of a mini-quad rotor system for indoor application at Keokuk University. The propulsion system consists of X-UFO blade propellers and brushless direct current (DC) motors assembled on a very stiff ai rframe made of carbon fiber composite material. The attitude control system consists of a stab ility augmentation system as the inner loop control and a modern control approach as the outer lo op. The closed-loop contro l is a PID controller,which is used for the flight test to valid ate our aerodynamic mode ling. To perform an experimental flight test,basic electronics hardware will de velop in a simple configuration. We will use an AVR microcontroller as the embe dded controller,a low-cost 100 Hz AHRS for inertial sensing,infrared (IR) sensors for horizontal ranging,and an ultrasonic sensor for ground ranging. A high performance propeller system is built on an X-UFO quad rotor airframe. The developing flying robot is shown to have an automatic hovering ability with aid of a ground control system that uses mon itoring and a fail-safe system. We will introduce a new quad rotor platform for realizing autonomous navigation in unknown indoor/outdoor environments. Au tonomous waypoint navigation,obs tacle avoidance and flight control is implemented on-board. The system does not require a special environment,artificial markers or an external reference system. We will develop a monolithic,mechanically damped perception unit which is equipped with a stereo camera pair,an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU),two processor and an FPGA board.

Smart aerosonde UAV longitudinal flight control system based on genetic algor...journalBEEI
Synthesis of a flight control system for such an aircraft that achieves stable and acceptable performance across a specified flying envelope in the presence of uncertainties represents an attractive and challenging design problem. This study uses the genetic self-tuning PID algorithm to develop an intelligent flight control system for the aerosonde UAV model. To improve the system's transient responses, the gains of the PID controller are improved using a genetic algorithm (GA). Simulink/MATLAB software is used to model and simulate the proposed system. The proposed PID controller integrated with the GA is compared with the classical one. Three simulation scenarios are carried out. In the first scenario, and at normal conditions, the proposed controller performance is better than the classical one. While in the second scenario, identical results are achieved from both controllers. Finally, in the third scenario, the PID controller with GA shows the robustness and durability of the system compared with the classical PID in presence of external wind disturbance. The simulation results prove the system parameters optimization.
Micro-sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or micro Air Vehicles (MAVs),are used to acquire real-time visual information for a wide range of applications.
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for underwater exploration is typically controlled using umbilical cable connected to ground control station. Unfortunately, while it’s used for power distribution and data transmission, it also obstruct the movement of ROV especially for shallow water (<50 cm). This paper proposed an alternative method for controlling ROV using wireless remote control system. This work also aims to explore the possibility of using RF wireless technology between 420-450 MHz as underwater communication system. Furthermore, the control system was used to manage actuators i.e. DC motor and bilge pump for maneuvring and picking small size cargo. To help the ROV to hold on a desired, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is installed on board ROV within maximum deviation 0.2 m/s2. The prototype of the system has been successfully implemented and evaluated to confirm the functionality and the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric

surveillance. All the MAVs are synchronized with each other through the master UAV which highlights their
purpose and position. The master UAV acts as a mobile base for the surveillance, it stores the data collected by
the MAVs and transmits them to a remote base. A design of the UAV-MAV system and its performance analysis

I. INTRODUCTION
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have become an integral part in various fields. They are used in situations
in which actual presence of pilots may be unsafe due to dangerous or biologically hazardous environments.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles can be fit with a high resolution camera that can be used aerial photography or video
recording. The aerial photography applications range from documentary of wildlife to military stealth
surveillance applications. Image processing techniques can also be applied for the procured images as well as
for object identification during surveillance missions. The video captured during flight can be directly streamed
by the pilot, enabling him to remotely control the UAV thousands of meters away. UAVs can be completely
automated using various sensors such as ultrasonic sensors to achieve autonomous motion with obstacle
avoidance capabilities in very close spaces. Autonomous control can be applied in situations where there are
blind spots and accurate manual control cannot be achieved. Micro Aerial Vehicles are used in search and
rescue missions which are almost impossible to carry out manually with limited ground vision of the terrain and
inability to locate or approach hurt civilians trapped under large chunks of debris or inaccessible paths. UAVs
are utilized in 3-D image of environment and obtaining information such as temperature, pressure and moisture
content in hazardous environments for research applications.
II. MASTER / SLAVE CONTROL THEORY
This paper introduces a novel concept of Master and Slave control theory and an insight into the
involved intercommunication between several Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. This control theory is based on a
model of communication between several electronic devices in which one device holds complete domination
over the others. The latter device is known as the master while the other devices are known as slaves. In case of
several Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, one UAV acts as a master while the others act as slaves. The slaves acquire
information from the surrounding using sensors such as pressure, temperature and ultrasonic sensors and
transmit the data to the centralized master UAV which processes the acquired data. The master UAV, after
processing the data, sends the required instructions to individual slave UAVs to carry out their specific tasks.
The slave UAVs are also capable of communicating with each other through the centralized master UAV
enabling them to effectively split their actions to complete the required task in minimal time. The 'Master and
Slave' control theory is very effective in completing complex tasks where proper synchronization between
devices is required. The master UAV can also be linked with a ground station[1] ( e.g. laptop) through which all
the input transferred to the master UAV from the slave MAVs. The user at the ground station can stream videos
captured by video cameras attached to the slave MAVs by utilising the master UAV as a intermediate medium
for communication. Therefore surveillance over a wide range of area can be established.

IV. HARDWARE CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL CIRCUIT
Linux C is used as the operating system for controlling the actions of the master and slave quad rotor
system. In the proposed system two Raspberry Pi (Model B) components, programmed and augmented with a
Linux operating system[2], are placed on the frame of the master quad rotor and in the Ground Control location
respectively. The Raspberry pi controllers in the master quad rotor and the Ground Control location are
wirelessly connected. Instructions from the Ground Control location are directly transmitted to the master quad
rotor using the Linux operating software and Raspberry pi controllers. The Raspberry pi microcontroller in the
master quad rotor is connected to an Arduino Leonardo microcontroller. The Leonardo microcontroller mainly
helps in stabilizing the quad rotor with the help of attached three axis Accelerometers, Gyroscopes and
Magnetometers. The master quad rotor is designed to carry a satisfactory amount of payload and has very high
processing power. The slave MAVs[3] are attached with Arduino Nano and connected wirelessly to the master
quad rotor using a GSM or wireless shield. The master quad rotor and the slave MAVs are provided with
obstacle avoidance capabilities by addition of ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors[4][5].The data acquired by
the MAVs during surveillance, such as images, are not only processed by their individual microcontrollers but
also transmitted to the master UAV where secondary processing takes place. The acquired data are also
transmitted to the user at the ground control station. The master UAV sends the necessary instructions to the
slave MAVs based on the processed data

As shown in the above Fig. 1, a longer distance and wider area can be covered by utilizing master and slave
control theory to UAV systems. The Ground Control Station might not be able to directly communicate with

slave MAVs with satellites at very long distances. However when master UAVs are used as a central medium
for communication with other UAVs, surveillance missions can be carried out at much longer distances in a
lesser time duration[6]. This system also offers another significant advantage. The MAVs do not have to process
all the collected information individually. The information obtained by the MAVs can be directly transferred to
the master UAV for processing owing to its high processing capability. The master UAV can also be augmented
with extra microcontrollers to further improve its processing capabilities.

V. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MASTER /SLAVE SYSTEM
The analysis of the various factors influencing the performance of the UAV is presented. The source
battery (6000 mAh) provides a maximum voltage of 14.8V at ideal conditions (w/o losses).This analysis takes
into consideration the internal resistance (R1≈0.0322 Ω) and thus, the voltage drops accordingly.

VI. BALANCING SHIFT IN CENTER OF GRAVITY
When need arises for flight of particular pattern arrangement of MAV's such as flight of two adjacent
MAV's , any three MAV's or a single MAV's, the Master UAV faces a shift in center of gravity from its center.
This shift needs to be compensated for the UAV to sustain a stable flight (Fig. 6). The following formula[10]
provides the distribution of the total thrust(FTotal) so as to maintain a stable flight at hover conditions.
Where, F2 is Thrust value of the rotor close to the shift center of gravity while F1 is the thrust value of the of
rotor further away from the shifted center of gravity, X is the shift in center of gravity and L represents half the
distance between the motors.

negligible deformation. However the system can be augmented by increasing the material thickness at the
center.

and reaction forces using Nastran and are found to be feasible for utilisation in fabricating the swarm controlled
UAV system. The components for utilization and hardware connections of the complete system are provided.
Moreover, the efficiency of the system based on the selected components is theoretically calculated and results
are graphically plotted.
