Abstract

As we all know that in present era, the innovation is expanding step by step, so it is important to examine the idea of joining a cell phone with outer equipment, so quadcopter with Arduino-based air-sensing engine is a good platform for this investigation. A quadcopter is based on the principle of aviation (based on gyroscope), and it is a device which is an intense mixture of electronics and mechanical. By changing its torque load and thrust/lift characteristics, we can control the unmanned aerial vehicle motion by altering the rotation rate of four brushless DC motors. It is also known as quadcopter, helicopter and multicopter which is lifted and propelled by four rotors which is controlled by electronic speed controller and flight controller board which is programmed on Arduino. We will use android-based software (auto-answer, AirDroid etc.) which will enable us to control the air-sensing engine by sending commands to it from our android or laptop. Here controller sends commands through browser which directly maps to the server. In future, this project can be implemented in various fields such as military (in combat zone), for pollution detection by pollution sensors, for searching enemy location and mining identification.
