Quadrotor - Android Apps and Software Development

Abstract

In the recent years, many people are using Android devices and the number of Android users is increasing rapidly in the recently year. Many products have supported the Android devices and Android devices can be used as the control devices. Some companies have introduced the IP camera and combine it with the Android devices. The users can watch their houses through the IP camera in their Android Phone. But, there was a common problem in most of the IP camera. The IP camera can move from room to room and from one place to another place. If the users want to secure more than place with the IP camera, they may need to install more than one IP camera inside their house. It is very inconvenience for some users who want to secure a large area. In this final year project, our group is going to design the IP camera with the flying machine - Quad-rotor. The Quad-rotor will provide the video feedback to the users. This Quad-rotor will carry the camera from one place to another place. Besides that, any Android devices can control the Quad-rotor after installing the application through the Wi-Fi network. The Android Quad-rotor will be run on the Linux platform. Both hardware and software design of Quad-rotor will be implemented in this project.
