A quadcopter equipped with sensors and an automatic self-correction system has been developed, which enables stable and safe flight even in demanding conditions and in the presence of external interference. It is intended for applications that require a high level of precision and reliability, such as monitoring large areas, scientific research in inaccessible terrain or providing assistance in emergency situations, such as search and rescue. The special feature of this system is the integration of measuring devices such as a gyroscope and accelerometer integrated within a single sensor – which, in synergy with the control board, ensures accurate balancing and real-time movement tracking. Thanks to the PID algorithm, the quadcopter can automatically recognize deviations from the set value (horizontal position) and make immediate corrections to maintain optimal stability. This results in increased efficiency, reduced possibility of error and safer operation in complex operational environments.
