The concept of Team D is to make a quadcopter which mounts a camera. In this week we made a initial design. First, we considered total mass of a quadcopter. We aim at making it less than 200g because we allowed to fly airplanes which is below 200g outdoors. So we designed a quadcopter as small as possible.Second, we decided what kind of sensor we use. Quadcopters need attitude and altitude control for stable flight. We use 9-axis sensor for attitude estimation and ultrasonic sensor for altitude estimation. チームDのコンセプトはカメラを搭載したクアッドコプターの製作です。今週はクアッドコプターの初期設計を行いました。はじめに、全体重量についての検討です。200g以下の航空機であれば屋外で飛ばすことができるため、200g以下での製作を目指しています。次に、使用するセンサの決定です。クアッドコプターが安定して飛行するためには姿勢と高度の制御が必要です。姿勢推定のための9軸センサ、高度推定のための超音波センサを使用することにしました。
