MAV Control System - P09122- Management Review (MSD I) Erik Bellandi – Project Manager Ben Wager – Lead Engineer Garrett Argenna – Mechanical Engineering Michael Pepen – Electrical Engineering Tahar Allag – Electrical Engineering Ramon Campusano – Computer Engineering Stephen Nichols – Computer Engineering
Project Objectives & Deliverables Product Description / Project Overview To design and build a flight control system for the Micro Aerial Vehicle, that will most quickly lead to a fully autonomous system. Key Business Goals / Project Deliverables Primary Goals: Make the MAV as autonomous as possible. Achieve desired flight qualities. Stabilize if unstable or increase damping Adaptable Fully Tested and Integrate with Platform Secondary Business Goal: Able to compete in the 2010 EMAV Competition.
Stability Augmentation System Autopilot System Control System Concept • Stability Augmentation System: • If an airplane is marginally stable or unstable, the SAS can provide proper vehicle stability • Ensure the plane has the appropriate handling qualities; additional damping can be incorporated using a pitch, roll and yaw damper. • Autopilot: Reduce Pilot Workload (Time Permitting) • Attitude Hold – Maintain desired roll, pitch and heading • Altitude Hold – Maintain desired altitude • Velocity Hold – Maintain desired velocity
Current State of Design Control System Design is adaptable for other sensors, platform characteristics and additional autonomy algorithms (configurable with removable SD card) Design allows for desired performance with proper gain selection Weight: 446 grams < 500 g Size: 2” x 2” x 2” < 2.5” x 2.5” x 8” Test Stand 2-Axis: accurately control position and velocity Under Budget Total Costs: $2500 < $3000 Schedule Problems using Datcom: 2 weeks behind schedule on control system gain selection. Part of refinement, phase 4. Electronics and Test Stand Designs finished ahead of schedule, 2 weeks ahead of schedule on ordering and receiving parts.
