Abstract

Microdrone with LiDAR proximity sensor is a remote-controlled device which can detect obstacle in it’s way and alert remote controller by beeping the buzzer and blinking the LED. These light weight Microdrones that can take off from anywhere fly indoors or in forest or gardens and sense obstacles. The distance between the drone and the obstacle is inversely proportional to the frequency of beeping of buzzer and blinking of LED. As the drone reaches near to the obstacle. The frequency of beeping the buzzer and blinking the LED increases and vice-versa. This paper consists of a remote controller and a Microdrone with LiDAR sensor in it’s front which uses IR light for obstacle detection. The Microdrone is controlled by using a remote which uses F3 EVO flight controller and the data is processed by Arduino Pro Mini.
