Quadcopter Drone Model in Simscape

Quadcopter with multibody, electrical and thermal models follows a path to deliver a package.

This example models a quadcopter that navigates a path to deliver a package.

• Electric motors and battery enable estimation of current draw and drone range
• CAD files of the chassis and propellers model the mechanical system
• Cascaded PID controllers adjust motor speeds to control altitude and attitude
• Path following and speed controllers provide high-level commands
• Python queries to a weather database obtain location-specific wind conditions
• Wind gust profiles test stability of drone controllers
• Profitability analysis in a MATLAB App enables exploring technical and business tradeoffs
