Abstract
The subject of the study in the article is research of the control system of unmanned aerial vehicles for the computer simulator of virtual quadrocopter. The goal is the development of an algorithm for automatically finding a shortcut for a quadrocopter and researching control methods for a quadrocopter in a software environment of a developed computer application with a modern graphical interface for working with a joystick with a virtual model of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The task is research of the properties of modern screw unmanned aerial vehicles with the identification of features of their functioning and control over their behavior. The main features of unmanned aerial vehicles on the basis of a quadrocopter construction scheme are considered, a review of existing simulators allowing control of various aviation equipment is conducted. The description of the developed interactive computer application, thanks to which the user controls the unmanned aerial vehicle in the form of a quadrocopter, is given. The features of moving a virtual quadrocopter in space, taking into account all existing types of maneuvers, taking into account the integration of a modern controller to issue commands to an aircraft and control the created software interface, are revealed. A method has been developed for automatic control of aircraft, which, in the event of an emergency, allows for an independent return to the starting point using the shortcut search algorithm. Conclusions: A study of the control system of unmanned aerial vehicles using the developed quadcopter software simulator, which is controlled by a joystick or automatically, showed the efficiency of the proposed method of automatic control of aircraft in case of emergencies based on the shortcut search algorithm.
