The document discusses a flight control system for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. It describes receiving sensor data from the Parrot Mambo quadrotor drone through Bluetooth connections in Matlab/Simulink. It then outlines the design which includes a camera, quadrotor, joystick, and cockpit glasses. Advantages of quadrotors include their small size, ease of construction, available controllers, and software capabilities, while disadvantages are low payload capacity, fragility, and hacking vulnerability. Applications discussed are research, filming, construction monitoring, mapping, and military/law enforcement uses.

Feedback Signal The Parrot Mambo Mini Drone
Motherboard for Parrot Mambo. The motherboard includes the latest Parrot SIP6 chipset with ARM A9 clocked at 800 MHz. The Parrot Mambo motherboard runs on Linux. Pressure sensor is indirectly measuring altitude as the drone climbs in altitude the air pressure drops slightly and use this slight change in pressure to estimate the altitude of the drone
Gyrosensor measures angular rate from the IMU Gyroscope Ultrasound Sensor that's used to measure vertical distances , it sends out a high-frequency sound pulse and measures how long it takes that pulse to bounce off the floor and return back to the sensor from the measured time distance between the floor and the drone can be calculated at least up to about 13 feet
Vertical Camera it's taking images at 60
frames per second and using an image processing technique called optical flow to determine how objects are moving between one frame and the next from this apparent motion the mini drone can estimate horizontal motion and speed Indoor Experiment
