This growth is also followed by a number of quality requirements including stability and accuracy of trajectory during navigation. This paper presents the design and construction of a quadcopter using robust control strategy with promising stability and accuracy. The frame of the drone was designed using CadDian Software and the parts were printed using a 3D printer. The flight controller was based on Arduino board with GSM, GPS and GPRS boards for sending data over the internet and also enhancing long range flight. A feedback control system based on Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) was developed and tested to control the stability of drone. The proposed control strategy of the drone was assessed for a case of trajectory tracking and also for stability of navigation. The findings were positive confirming the appropriateness of the control mea...
