The thesis presents design and development of a quadcopter, which includes drive and control components that contain Arduino Uno development board and an inertial measuring
unit, with the help of which we are able to obtain information on inclination angles. Based on the measured angles and the selected proportional – integral – derivative (PID) controller, we calculated the required engine thrust to ensure the stability of the vessel. The controller
is implemented in C++ programming language using the Arduino development environment. The thesis presents the system responses to PID control parameters, which were evaluated
using a manufactured constructional platform. The work also presents and explores the system responses to changing commands using a transmitter when testing a quadcopter on a
joint structure.
