Designed and implemented the actuator subsystem of a Payload RC Drone, enabling stable thrust, turning, and payload delivery. Selected Brushless DC motors and validated performance through simulations, achieving 20k RPM versus the 8.6k RPM required for lift of a 750 g drone with 100 g payload. Developed and tested servo motor control code in TinkerCAD using PWM signals, confirming payload delivery of up to 100 g with arm lengths ≤ 18 cm. Performed torque and thrust calculations and integrated the actuator subsystem with power electronics and mechanical modeling teams to ensure system performance.
