| description | With the development of consumer-grade drone products, drones have been good carriers for many IoT (Internet of Things) applications, especially as a part of edge computing to deliver things, collect data, or monitor objects. This paper develops a Unity3D-based quadrotor dynamics simulation component on the original platform. In order to complete the simulation, a force analysis is performed for the quadrotor to establish a physical model based on Newtonian mechanics and Euler angles, and a PID (Proportion Integral Differential)-based control model is developed based on this physical model, which performs a fixed-point control for the simulation. The component introduces weather impact factors into the physical model through an environmental computational model and presents weather effects to the user interface. In addition, we add a scene customization function and a multi-aircraft formation flight function to the original simulation, and optimize the interface presentation scheme for multi-aircraft formation flight. The quadrotor simulation model in this paper solves the problem that the original simulation system is not realistic enough and significantly improves the usability and stability of quadrotors working in the IoT area. |
