Design of Workplace for Multirotor UAV Parameters Measurement

Abstract

The paper presents the concept of a workplace for multirotor UAV control parameters measurement. The workplace consists of tensometric measurement devices, which measure the thrust and reactive forces of the UAV motors, and a servomechanism, which simulates angular motion for the flight control board of the UAV. The paper describes two methods of measurement, one with a fixed flight control board without the servo and one with the flight control board mounted to the servomechanism pivoting it around its pitch axis. The goal is to prove that with the servomechanism the flight control board acts more like in real flight in comparison to the tests with the fixed board.
