Quad copter Control Using Android Smartphone

Abstract

This research paper is based on develops a wireless quadcopter project operated by android system. We operate quadcopter using Graphical User Interface and commands given by user via wireless communication system. Quadcopter is a small aerial vehicle that is lifted and propelled by four rotors which is operated by user from the base station through wireless communication. We found that quadcopter can serve more tactical operations like finding a village, searching an enemy location etc. It is specially used in military applications such as for surveillance and gathering information. We mounted an android smartphone on quadcopter which will contain inbuilt application such as camera & GPS. The CAMERA and GPS is used with specially designed software. And output of CAMERA and GPS is to be visualized on desktop or laptop screen.
