Ar drone
1. AR drone- the best among the rest for all
Introduction
AR drone is generally considered as a kind of radio controlled helicopter. This drone is basically
designed to be operated by tablet or mobile operating systems. It is likely to be supported with
Android or iOS within some particular apps or software for the Samsung BADA, Symbian
device or the Windows Phone.
Designand development
The AR drone was first introduced at International CES 2010 in Las Vegas with the
demonstration of iOS applications used to control it. This application was designed for the free
operation of drone. The airframe of AR Drone was constructed of the carbon fiber and nylon
parts, basically measures 57 cm (22 in) across. The airframe comes with two interchangeable
hulls, one for the external flight and one for the indoor.
The indoor hull is generally made from the foam and encases circumference of blades for the
protection. On the other hand, the outdoor hull is basically made from the lightweight plastic. AR
Drone generally has the six degree of freedom along with the feature of miniaturized
measurement tracking pitch as well as yaw for use in the stabilization.
Inside airframe, a wide range of the sensors assist the flight, enabling interface used by the pilots
to be simpler as well as making advanced flight easier. Onboard computer is likely to run the
Linux operating system. It generally communicates with pilot through the self-generated Wi-Fi
hotspot. Onboard sensors basically include an ultrasonic altimeter that is used to provide the
vertical stabilization up to 6 m. Apart from these, the rotors are powered with 15 watt and the
brushless motors are generally powered by 11.1 volt lithium polymer battery. It is likely to
provide 12 minutes of flight time at the speed of 5 m/s.
Applications
AR drone has a plenty of applications. It is there to provide you with the piloting function. It has
also the ability to take the videos and photos. It is there to allow the pilot to capture images or
record video from the drone’s onboard cameras. You are allowed to play the games with
completely a new experience using this device.
