Android Streaming Micro Quadcopter With Obstacle Detector

Download Project Document/Synopsis

Quadcopters come in all sizes, from heavy quadcopters that spray crops to micro quadcopters which can land on the palm of your hand. Here we develop a small micro quadcopter with live android streaming and automatic obstacle detection feature.

The drone makes use of a remote controller for flight controlling and a streaming camera that can be viewed on android device. Apart from that the drone encompasses an obstacle detection and alerting feature to alert incase of obstacle in the front.

The drone receives commands from the user via a remote controller and then operates the motors via flight controller to achieve drone movement. The drone also has safety guards to protect the propellers from damage. We now have an ultrasonic sensor attached to an alerting circuitry for obstacle detection.

On detecting any obstacles the ultrasonic sensor detects the object distance from the drone and sounds an alarm buzzer of the object is within a bumping range of the drone. This alerts the user and action can be taken by user to avoid it.

Thus we develop an android streaming micro drone that integrates an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection and instant alerting.
