EMBEDDED SYSTEMS & UAV POWER ELECTRONICS

This project explores the integration of embedded systems and power electronics tailored for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications. Efficient power distribution, regulation, and monitoring are critical for extending flight times and ensuring operational reliability in modern aerial platforms. The proposed framework focuses on the design and implementation of a microcontroller-based power management unit (PMU) that interfaces with electronic speed controllers (ESCs) and battery management systems (BMS). By utilizing high-efficiency DC-DC converters, such as buck-boost topologies, the system regulates fluctuating battery voltages to supply stable power to flight controllers, sensors, and telemetry modules. Real-time monitoring of current, voltage, and thermal parameters is achieved through embedded sensors, allowing the microcontroller to execute

dynamic power-saving algorithms and fault-detection routines. Simulation models developed in MATLAB/Simulink validate the transient response and thermal performance of the power electronic circuits under varying load conditions. The physical prototype demonstrates improved power conversion efficiency and robust fault protection, offering a practical foundation for undergraduate research in aerospace electronics and embedded control systems. This resource provides structured guidance for schematic design, component selection, firmware development, and experimental validation of UAV power architectures.
