Implementation of Drone Using ESP-32

Abstract

The rapid growth of embedded systems and IoT technologies has enabled the development of smart, compact, and costeffective unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This project presents the Implementation of a Drone Using ESP-32, which leverages the microcontroller’s built-in Wi-Fi, dual-core processing, and real-time control capabilities. The drone incorporates an MPU6050 IMU sensor for orientation tracking, electronic speed controllers (ESCs) for motor driving, and a stable power management system. A custom control algorithm is deployed to manage altitude, direction, and stability. The ESP-32 also provides wireless communication for remote control through a mobile or web interface. This design demonstrates an affordable and efficient model for student projects, surveillance applications, and IoT-enabled aerial monitoring. The results show that the drone is capable of stable flight, real-time response, and remote operation, making it a promising platform for further enhancement and automation.
