Optimize the design parameters of a drone with Genetic Algorithm. The objective is to maximize the working duration of the drone. The simulation is written in MATLAB. The propeller is simulated using Blade Element Theory. A list of motors and batteries are used for optimization.
The design variables to be optimized are:
- Batter label
- Motor label
- Propeller pitch angle
- Propeller number of blades
- Propeller radius
- Propeller width
- Ascend speed up acceleration
- Ascend speed down acceleration
- Descend speed up acceleration
- Tranlational speed up / slow down acceleration
