Drone Navigation

Pilot the Parrot drone

Create a Parrot object using parrot before you use functions to pilot the Parrot^® drone using MATLAB^® commands.

Functions

Basic Flight

`takeoff`	Initiate Parrot drone takeoff (Since R2019a)
`land`	Land Parrot drone (Since R2019a)
`abort`	End flight of Parrot drone (Since R2019a)

Advanced Flight

`flip`	Flip Parrot drone in specified direction (Since R2019a)
`move`	Move Parrot drone in all six directions (Since R2019a)
`moveback`	Move Parrot drone backwards (Since R2019a)
`movedown`	Move Parrot drone down (Since R2019a)
`moveforward`	Move Parrot drone forward (Since R2019a)
`moveleft`	Move Parrot drone left (Since R2019a)
`moveright`	Move Parrot drone right (Since R2019a)
`moveup`	Move Parrot drone upwards (Since R2019a)
`turn`	Turn Parrot drone at specified angle (Since R2019a)

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Connection Issues Post Flight Crash

An advanced maneuver like flip can lead to a flight crash if the drone battery is low or if the ground clearance is not enough for completing the flip.

Troubleshooting Low Battery Warning

The low-battery warning indicates that the drone battery must be replaced.

Featured Examples

Getting Started with MATLAB Support Package for Parrot Drones

Use the MATLAB® Support Package for Parrot® drone to perform the basic flight operations on the drone such as take-off, land, and fly along a path.
