INTRODUCTION
Our plan is to choose an existing Quadcopter kit and add the required
components to give the Quadcopter the capabilities to gather and log
data autonomously.
A GSM Module will be used to track location. If this goal is
accomplished, our team would also like to design and implement some
autonomous commands that may help aid a user in collecting the data
These commands include the auto-landing command, auto-move
command, auto-homing command, and hold position command.
OBJECTIVES
The main objective is to design and build a quad-rotor aircraft
(referred to as “quadcopter”) that is capable of stable flight with
manual radio control.
More specifically, our goal is to implement an Arduino microcontroller
as the quadcopter’s flight controller, and program this Arduino with
our own custom code.
While there are many open-source programs that enable Arduino
boards to be used as flight controllers, we want to develop the code
ourselves in order to learn more about what makes quadcopter flight
possible.
Methodology
Fig: Block Diagram of proposed model
CONSTRUCTION
It mainly consists of these components,
1. Arduino uno: It is a Microcontroller based design. It is referred as “brain”
of the quadcopter, and performs all necessary operations to keep the
quadcopter stable and controllable.
2. ESC: It stands for “Electronic Speed Controller”, is an electronic circuit
used to change the speed of an Electric motor.
3. Brushless DC Motor: motor which can accelerate very quickly and they
have high Power to weight ratio.
4. Propellers: These are the blades helps to push air down to fly Quadcopter by
the principle of Newton’s 3ʳᵈ law.
5. Battery: The battery provides electrical power to the motors and to all
electronic components of the Quadcopter.
6. Receiver: The radio receiver (Rx) receives radio signals from an RC
transmitter and converts them into control signals for each control channel
(throttle, yaw, roll & pitch).
WORKING
Forward and backward motion:
Forward (backward) motion is controlled by increasing (decreasing)
speed of rear (front) rotor. Decreasing (increasing) rear (front) rotor’s
speed simultaneously will affect the pitch angle of the Quadcopter.
Left and right motion:
For left and right motion, it can be controlled by changing the yaw angle of
the Quadcopter. Yaw angle can be controlled by increasing (decreasing)
counter-clockwise rotors speed while decreasing (increasing) clockwise rotor
speed.
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
Advantages:
1. They saves time.
2. Drones require less effort.
3. They are used in Live streaming.
Disadvantages:
1. They have shorter lifespan.
2. Vulnerable to wild animal attacks.
APPLICATIONS
Drones are very useful in searching and rescuing operations.
They help Scientists a lot in research works to observe different
occurrences in nature or a particular environment from the sky.
Using Multi-spectral cameras and laser scanners, drones are able to
create high-quality 3-D maps. Therefore they found applications in
various areas including remote sensing, surveying & mapping,
photogrammetry, precision, agriculture etc..
With a Drone that is equipped with a HD camera, You can take the
fascinating photos and shot footage of great quality from the sky.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
The proposed model can be used as a low cost alternative to many
applications like pesticide sprinkling, end to end delivery within the
transmitter’s RF range, surveillance in defence and other sensitive places,
mapping through remote sensing, etc. with very level of precision
Conclusion
This capstone project was one of the golden opportunities that
prompted us not only to gain
knowledge on different topics and learn a fair number of new technologies but also put them
into
practice. It was a great way for me to apply all the skills and knowledge we have acquired
throughout my undergraduate degree in general engineering. We managed conducting a
feasibility
study, gathering requirements by prioritizing them, designing and implementing the project,
and
eventually testing it.
The principal work to be done next is to ensure the drone’s smoothness and stability.
Besides, the
feasibility of using the image processing has been investigated. The idea is to enable the
drone to
avoid obstacles and recognize people’s faces in order to identify missing people, civilians, and
criminals. Thus, working on this will enable me to eliminate criminal activities. In addition, this
can be used in favor of many institutes to record attendance by detecting faces without
wasting
time or effort. This is only one of many other applications that this general- purpose drone
could
be used to accomplish, which could have a huge impact on societies.
