Abstract: Quadrotor (or quadcopter), a typical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), has many applications in daily life, military, agriculture, industry, commerce, and other useful applications. Control for stabilizing quadrotor is the main point needed to be solved before making tracks along the desired trajectory. This research presents an explicit scheme to design a PID regulator for stabilizing quadrotor. For more details, the mathematical model of quadrotor is defined under an engineering point of view, based on which a suitable PID controller is designed and programmed on STM32 microcontroller. Furthermore, a good control feedback system needs a clean feedback signal, so the effects of sensor noises are decreased by applying the complement filter. The performances of the control system and how sensor noises are well eliminated are going to be demonstrated by simulation and experimental results.
