TEAM SYNTECH KEN, ANDY, DAN, TRAVIS, RYAN Project ASD (Aerial Surveillance Drone) 1/25/2011

Overview Team Syntech’s objective is to construct an autonomous quad copter that performs aerial maneuvers and reconnaissance functions. 1/25/2011 Team Syntech Redington, Ryan Le, Cartwright, McCormick, Hua

Objectives (Low) Micro Controller commanding motors Autonomous stable hovering Safety measures (Basic Wireless Features)  Emergency remote kill switch (copter goes dead)  Remote hover button: copter returns to stable hover state Turning Planar movement LED’s stuttgart.de/forschung/mechatronik/robo/quadk opter/index.en.html 1/25/2011 Team Syntech Redington, Ryan Le, Cartwright, McCormick, Hua

Objectives (Med) Collision durability Altitude adjustment Navigation using a system of beacons Can carry payload (specifically a digital camera) Recording pictures and/or video Wireless communication to a base station 1/25/2011 Team Syntech Redington, Ryan Le, Cartwright, McCormick, Hua

Objectives (High) High altitude capabilities Spotlight LED Communication of video/picture to base station Pan/Tilt of the camera Obstacle avoidance Inductive charging at a base station 1/25/2011 Team Syntech Redington, Ryan Le, Cartwright, McCormick, Hua
