Abstract

In recent years, quadcopters have become valuable tools for solving complex human challenges across sectors such as security, agriculture, and land surveying. By serving as an alternative to human involvement in hazardous or labor-intensive tasks, quadcopters offer substantial versatility and efficiency. Specifically designed for Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL). Quadcopters employ a four-motor configuration that provides agile and stable flight control. This flight control is achieved through fine-tuned adjustments of pitch, yaw, roll, and throttle, with each motor operating at variable speeds to execute precise maneuvers. A sophisticated combination of avionics and control systems, including the flight controller, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), Global Positioning System (GPS), compass module, and power distribution board, ensures seamless operation and accurate response
to flight commands. This study provides a detailed examination of the fabrication, configuration, and programming processes involved in constructing a quadcopter capable of autonomous flight.
