Abstract: The field of UAV has exceptional level of growth; in addition it is predictable to be one of the most prevalent fields of development and research in future. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)- quadrotor widely used as a service robotic in several fields. This paper presents a new design of this miniature aerial vehicle in altitude and attitude movements, based on varying the arm's length of quadrotor instead of varying the speed of motors to obtain a rotation around each axes. The length of arms varying are achieved by fixing a stepper motor in each arm of quadrotor to increase or decrease the length of these arms according to controller command for attitude movement. The controller commands are accomplished by designing a PID controller with specific parameters to maintain the stability of the quadrotor in the flight path. A MATLAB software code used to evaluate the simulation results and demonstrate the ability of the proposed design to perform a mission.
