<span>Research on the tri-rotor aerial robot is due to extra efficiency<span> over other UAV’s regarding stability, power and size<span> requirements. We require a controller to achieve 6-Degree<span> Of Freedom (DOF), for such purpose, we propose the RST<span> controller to operate our tri-copter model. A MIMO model<span> of a tri-copter aerial robot is challenged in the area of control<span> engineering. Ninestates of output control dynamics are treated<span> individually. We designed dynamic controllers to stabilize the<span> parameters of an UAV. The resulting system control algorithm<span> is capable of stabilizing our UAV to perform numerous<span> operations autonomously.

Marker Detection

Precise navigation is often performed by sensor fusion of different sensors. Among these sensors, optical sensors use image features to obtain the position and attitude of the camera. Runway relative navigation during final approach is a special case where robust and continuous detection of the runway is required. This paper presents a robust threshold marker detection method for monocular cameras and introduces an on-board real-time implementation with flight test results. Results with narrow and wide field-of-view optics are compared. The image processing approach is also evaluated on image data captured by a different on-board system. The pure optical approach of this paper increases sensor redundancy because it does not require input from an inertial sensor as most of the robust runway detectors.
