AbstractThere are many kinds of robots which are implemented. The flying robot type is also implemented in many researches. However, there is not much researches doing on an indoor environment and can move freely without stationary fix point on the ground. As a result, this thesis proposed the control algorithm by using image based method which uses to control the flying robot in an indoor environment and can move freely without stationary fix point on the ground. This thesis proposed two control algorithms to control the robot in an indoor environment which are fuzzy controller and PD controller. For the fuzzy controller, it uses to control the robot flying height by controlling the throttle channel of the robot controller platform. The PD controller uses to control the other three channels of the robot platform which are elevator for forward and backward movement, aileron for side movement and rudder for heading of the platform. The fuzzy controller can be used to control the robot flying height but the battery is limitation made the usage time short. The PD controller is also able to use to control the robot platform but the image ptocessing trtade the accui'acy of the system low. Nonetheless, this thesis proposed control algorithm and image processing method to control the flying robot in an indoor environment.
