Development of Autonomous Blimp Robot Using QR-code-based Landmark Recognition

Abstract

Much research and development on Blimp robots is focused on their indoor use, with many efforts seeking to develop them for indoor surveillance or advertising. However, it has not get been experimentally proved that these robots can be controlled reliably. Thus our study, aims to demonstrate the stability of autonomous flight control using Table-Driven Navigation (TD Navi) to instruct a Blimp robot of a predetermined path. Through experiment, we establish that stabilized control is possible using TD Navi with PID control.
