The issue of developing a prototype for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and creating a control system based on a computer-aided design (CAD) model as part of a project for inspecting construction sites is under consideration. Special attention has been paid to constructing a computer model of a quadcopter. Based on existing methods, energy calculations have been performed and a process for synthesizing controllers in orientation and positioning control circuits has been proposed, considering the sampling rate of the sensors utilized. The outcomes obtained through modeling confirm the suggested algorithm for adjusting controllers. The solution can be utilized by students and professionals in the development of autonomous UAVs or their computer models.
