Popis: This paper addresses the problem of trajectory tracking and control of a low-cost flying agent, equipped with a microcontroller for real-time navigation. A flying agent (aircraft-type quadcopter) has been designed and developed for steering control along a planned trajectory. A novel control scheme is developed using MATLAB/Simulink to ensure the right balance among pitch, roll and yaw of the flying agent wings. The proposed control scheme utilises a PID controller which regulates the error dynamics to stabilise the navigation. Various trajectories have been generated and verified through simulation studies as well as tested in a real model. The real-time experiments verify the manoeuvrability of the controller, which also checks the compatibility with hardware interfaces.
