Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance for Quadcopter
Rich Sutrisno, Rusman Rusyadi, Eka Budiarto · 2020
Obstacle avoidance for UAV can help to increase safety feature on autopiloting flight of Autonomous UAV. The obstacle avoidance feature that can sense and react accordingly can significantly help and open much more opportunity for future autonomous UAV development. The goal of this thesis is to develop and test autonomous UAS and integrate obstacle avoidance feature to a standard quadcopter in autopiloting UAS. The quadcopter used in this thesis will use ArduCopter flight controller with distance sensor to detect and avoid simple shape static obstacle. Experiment for the UAS system will include basic autonomous flight testing, simple mission testing such as point to point navigation and delivery mission and lastly testing for obstacle avoidance feature.
