A survey on design and development of an unmanned aerial vehicle (quadcopter)

Purpose – In the previous decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have turned into a subject of enthusiasm for some exploration associations. UAVs are discovering applications in different regions going from military applications to activity reconnaissance. The purpose of this paper is to overview a particular sort of UAV called quadrotor or quadcopter. Design/methodology/approach – This paper includes the dynamic models of a quadrotor and the distinctive model-reliant and model-autonomous control systems and their correlation. Findings – In the present time, focus has moved to outlining autonomous quadrotors. Ultimately, the paper examines the potential applications of quadrotors and their part in multi-operators frameworks. Originality/value – This investigation deals with the review on various quadrotors, their applications and motion control strategies.
