Abstract

This paper presents a quadrocopter helicopter as a prototype platform usable for research and education. Apart from the description fabrication hardware and controlling software, we discuss several issues regarding drone equipment, abilities and performanc e. We show, how to perform basic tasks of position stabilization, object following and autonomous navigation. Moreover, we demonstrate the drone ability to act as an external navigation system for a formation of mobile robots. To further demonstrate the dr one utility for robotic research and using in daily basis, we describe experiments in which the drone has been used.
