An Overview of Fundamental Step Using Wi-Fi Communication for Flight Formation Quadrotors

Abstract

A quadrotor is one of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that has a capability to flight in the restricted area. Quadrotor as the flying robot attracted the interest from various groups such as researchers, hobbyists, and military for doing particular tasks. Although a single quadrotor is capable of overcoming multiple missions, however, a multi quadrotor has advantages for overcoming communication failures. Multi quadrotor in its application is identical with a formation that required leader-follower, behavioral structure, virtual structure, multiple-input-multiple-output approaches for communication between quadrotor. In this study, communication system and multi quadrotor established using AR.Drone 2.0. A study of a formation based on connection has made by AR.Drone. Wi-Fi communication types designed as the communication which is subsequently tested with various flight movements to study the responses that obtained from each AR.Drone. The test results in the study showed that communication system built on multi quadrotor had been done. There is conformity between AR.Drone 1 and AR.Drone 2 motion due to navigation data is taken from a roll, pitch, and yaw parameters.
