In this project a scheme has been initiated to develop self-directed land Flying robot using software and tools. A quad-rotor helicopter (i.e. QUADCOPTER) is an aircraft whose lift is generated by four propellers driven by rotors. The control mechanism of such an aircraft consists of four Brushless DC motors whose speeds are varied relative to each other. In order to allow for stable flight of the quad-rotor, the control system employed must be fastidious. Uncontrolled flight of a quad-rotor would be practically impossible by one operator, as the system demand constant adjustment of four motors simultaneously. Generally the speed and rotation of a quadcopter is adjusted with the help of remote control. However in order to get rid of bulky remote controls speed and rotation can be controlled by the use of a sensor which detects the motion of hand and will change its direction accordingly.
