Abstract: The primary factor restricts of the new control systems developments for air vehicles and the implementation of new sensors is being physically unable to quick and cost-effective testing. Flight testing is costly and requires a long preparation process. The aim of this article is improve the simulator infrastructure which easily implementable to the AscTec Hummingbird Quadrotor that located in the University’s lab and have interaction with the 3D physical environment. Firstly, quadrotor’s mathematical model has been developed and this model is implemented on the Matlab/Simulink environment. Afterwards, a bacis PID controller is developed. The quadrotor’s physical model, the electric motor, the rotor and the IMU model have been modelled on Virtual Robotics Experimentation Platform (V-REP). Matlab / Simulink controller is synchronized with the V-REP and is used for the quadrotor’s physical environment tests. The verification of the simulation is planning made by real experimental flight data of AscTec Hummingbird.
