Auto-charging and Autopilot VTOL Flying Robots

Topics covered in this project include expanding flight continuity through fast-charging stations and designing an autopilot control system for flight maneuvers and finding the nearest station for charging in the shortest time and proceeding with the flight. This system is equipped with a high current charging station with a protective circuit, current, and voltage for fast charging and preventing damage to the battery, considering the battery capacity. When flying robots are on a mission, the charging station search command is automatically sent by the controller to choose the nearest station for charging immediately after the foreseen charge of the system was reduced. Then, the system automatically lands on the charging station and the charging is started. At charging, the charging rate is measured with voltage feedback, and then when the system was fully charged, a command is sent for leaving the station and continuing the mission. When the voltage drops to the optimal level, the control system searches for the nearest charging station in its database. Then, a command is sent by the controller to the flying robot to direct to the charging base. When the robot was right over the station, a point-to-point connection is established between the transmitter, station control circuit, and receiver of the flying robot control circuit. In all stages, the angle and height of the flying robot are controlled by several Gyro modules and altimeters and reach the most stable state by feedback. During charging, the rate of charge, current, and input voltage is calculated and checked by the controller of the charging base. After charging, the charger is disconnected and sends a flay command to the controller of the flying robot. The robot then proceeds with its mission.
