Drone Control — Numerical Simulation

Portfolio repository showcasing my work as Controls Lead in a multirotor drone project.

What I did (Controls Lead)

• Designed the control architecture for stabilization (attitude control: roll/pitch/yaw)
• Implemented tuning and validation workflow using numerical simulation
• Defined control/mixing strategy and test scenarios to verify stability
• Standardized the team's numerical-methods workflow (integration, simulation scenarios, validation metrics) to ensure consistent results across contributors

What’s not included

• Remote control firmware and hardware (owned by teammates)
• Team-private implementation details not required for a public portfolio

Project overview

A multirotor drone requires stable control of attitude and (optionally) altitude. This repo documents the modeling + control design + numerical simulation used to validate the controller before/alongside real-world testing.

Repository contents

• /docs — control design notes, diagrams, tuning procedure, short report
• /media — plots, screenshots, photos/videos
• /simulation — numerical simulation scripts/models (public-safe)
• /control — controller code or pseudocode (public-safe)

Status

Completed (portfolio version). Continuous improvements: clearer docs, more plots, and demos.
