This study aimed to construct a low cost RPA capable of recording georeferenced
images. For the construction of the prototype of a quadcopter type RPA, only essential materials
were used to allow stable flight. A maximum total weight of 2 kg was stipulated, including frame
weight, electronic components, motors and cameras. The aircraft was programmed using a
low-cost microcontroller widely used in prototyping and automation research. An electronic
circuit board is designed to facilitate the connection of the microcontroller with the other
components of the design. Specific software was used for flight control. The prototype was built
successfully, being able to lift stable and controllable flight. However, we still need to acquire
equipment and programming components capable of enabling autonomous images and flights.
The final cost of the RPA was on average $ 427.00 on average 50% lower than the values found
in the Brazilian ARP market ($ 772.81 to $ 1,288.00)
