Service Quadcopter Drone for Object Manipulation

The aim of this research is to develop a stable quadrotor capable of manipulating small objects and navigate remotely trough an indoor space for service purposes, hence it presents the design and construction of a quadrotor drone for interior conditions which includes a pneumatic system as the principle mechanism for object manipulation located at the bottom of an air filled sphere, with the intention of carrying objects of small dimensions. The control and stabilization are made with feedback control algorithms over a Raspberry Pi and a Navio+ shield and it is commanded with wi-fi communication from a mobile device.

I was responsible of the control research that would enable us to control the drone, plus the interface between the computer and the Raspberry Pi, I used python and Glade to do it.
