Abstract

Micro Multi-propeller Multifunction Aerial Robot (MMAR) needs a low-cost, small-size, low-power and lightweight navigation system. To meet these requirements, a compact navigation system for micro MMARs is designed and implemented. The system consists of a GPS receiver, a MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU), a barometer, a magnetometer and a dual microprocessors navigation processing platform. According to the characteristics of the sensors used, the optimized Kalman Filter (KF) is designed to implement the navigation data fusion with less computational cost. The test results show that the system's small size, low power consumption, light weight and better dynamic accuracy can meet the requirements of micro MMAR autonomous flight.
