System to ensure safe movement of multicopter indoors
This article describes the developed universal system for ensuring the safe movement of multicopter indoors. The system solves the problem of the avoiding the obstacles when multicopter moves. System includes the following devices: 8 ultrasonic distance sensors, one infrared distance sensor, the electronic board to control sensors and multicopter, and radio. The ultrasonic sensors detect the obstacles in the horizontal plane of the multicopter. Infrared sensor is used to stabilize the height of multicopter. The system captures device management from operator when the machine enters the danger area. It calculates the best driving direction that multicopter not to collide with an obstacle, and drives the multicopter to a safe distance.
