ABSTRAKSI: Kemajuan di bidang teknologi dan ilmu pengetahuan khususnya dalam bidang aerial robot telah berkembang sangat pesat.Salah satu pengembangan pada teknologi aerial robot adalah quadcopter.Saat ini quadcopter banyak digunakan sebagai media pengambilan foto/video baik dalam kebutuhan pemerintahan, penelitian, militer, keusahaan, dan lain-lain.Sebuah quadcopter pada umumnya hanya dapat terbang 10-15 menit dengan catuan normal baterai 12 Volt.Sebentarnya waktu terbang dari quadcopter menjadi salah satu kekurang utama quadcopter.

KATA KUNCI: quadcopter, regulator, danbaterai.ABSTRACT: The development of technology and science, especially in the field of aerial robotics has grown very rapidly. One of the aerial robot technology development is a quadcopter. At this time, quadcopter is widely used as a tool for capturing images / video that would be needed in the needs of government, research, military, industry, and others. A quadcopter in general can only fly in 10-15 minutes with a standard power supply 12 Volt battery. The flying time duration of quadcopter becomes one of the laxity of quadcopter.
In this final project, a power supply of quadcopter will be modified by providing additional circuit which is a regulator circuit. The function of circuit is to lower the voltage so that the quadcopter can dole the battery with greater voltage. The regulator circuits will be designed into 5 different circuits, the purpose is to compare the performance of all 5 circuits. The regulator will be given a new battery, which is 15 volt, with the output adjusted to the need of normal quadcopter ration, which is 12Volt.
By comparing the 5 regulator circuits, then can be obtained the best circuit. The design of the best regulator will dole the battery with voltage greater than 15 Volt battery.
