Quadcopter merupakan alternatif tepat untuk membantu pencarian korban bencana, karena bentuknya yang relatif kecil dan dapat terbang stabil. Kontroler aeromodelling yang dipakai untuk mengendalikan quadcopter biasanya menggunakan media transmisi RF. Namun, media ini memiliki kelemahan yaitu dapat saling interferensi jika terdapat frekuensi yang sama. Selain itu, bentuk dari kontroler relatif besar sehingga repot untuk dibawa kemana-mana. Pada Tugas Akhir ini, direalisasikan suatu pengendali Quadcopter menggunakan handphone Android dengan media Wi-Fi. Kendali yang dimaksud yakni berupa kontrol navigasi (Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, dan Rudder) seperti pada kontroler aeromodelling biasanya. Digunakan media Wi-Fi karena transfer data yang lebih baik daripada media RF dan kebal terhadap interferensi. Wi-Fi juga memiliki fitur sekuritas untuk pengamanan jaringannya. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, data yang dikirim dari handphone Android berhasil diterima dengan baik dan quadcopter berhasil dikendalikan. Jarak maksimum dari Wi-Fi yaitu 100 meter (LOS) dan 32 meter (NLOS). Kata kunci: quadcopter, aeromodelling, remote control, Wi-Fi, Arduino, PWM

Quadcopter is a right tool for helping the search of disaster victims, because of the relatively small shape and have a good stability in flight. Aeromodelling controller which is used for controlling the quadcopter is usually use RF for transmission. But, this media have much weakness, such as interferences when there is a same frequency. Beside that, the shape of the controller is not smaal enough so can be difficult to carry it anywhere.This Final Project realizing a quadcopter controller using Android phone via Wi-Fi. The controller mentioned is navigation control (Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, and Rudder) just like the common aeromodelling controller. Wi-Fi media was used because it has a better data transfer than RF and immune to interference. Wi-Fi also have security feature to secure the network. Based on measurement, data that were transfered from handphone is successfully received and quadcopter successfully controled. Maximum coverage of Wi-Fi is 100 metres (LOS) and 32 metres (NLOS). Keywords: quadcopter, aeromodelling, remote control, Wi-Fi, Arduino, PWM
