Abstract

In order to improve the engineering practice ability of students and solve the problems of the lack of connection between theory and practice in the teaching of drones, a quadrotor teaching platform is developed. In the early stage of teaching process, the emphasis of the contents is on practical operations, such as assembly and flight, so that students could master the internal composition and flying principles of quadrotor. Especially through outdoor test flights, they can feel the fun of flying, and stimulate the enthusiasm for exploring the unknown world. Then the model and PID control theory of quadrotor are introduced in the second teaching stage, and the flight simulation experiment with MATLAB software is carried out. Practice results show that through this teaching method, the learning initiative of the students is greatly improved, and their ability to explain or solve practical problems with theoretical knowledge is significantly enhanced.
