In this study, a low-design-cost and long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on the simple microcontroller board and mini-airship technique is proposed. Many well developed positioning sensors, such as GPS, 3-axis Gyroscope, Gravity-sensor and Magnetometer are used. In addition, the control model of Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller is applied to accomplish the long endurance purpose. Such a low-cost design has the potential to accelerate the application of UAV in a variety of video monitoring fields.
