Research of 2DOF Manipulator for Controlling RC Joystick

Abstract

Recently, the autonomy of unmanned vehicles has been increasing. For general consumers, there are RC car, RC drone and RC ship, and furthermore, there are UGVs for delivery, delivery drones and unmanned ships. These vehicles are always connected to joystick for development or emergency purposes and have a system that allows people to intervene at any time. In this paper, we used joystick controller developed by us to design and mechanical analysis and speed improvement study for controlling FPV drones for racing. The joystick controller used four servo motor to control the joystick, employed a scalable design to be compatible with various controllers, and the joystick controller robot succeeded in controlling the joystick and moving the drone to the desired position. Studies have shown that FPV drones can be controlled within 20 cm of error in an environment where motion capture systems are deployed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
