Literature Review and Executive Summary (300 words):
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Design and Fabrication of an Axphyxiator Drone (Firefighting Drone) with Maximum
Altitude of 40 ft. Using MATLAB, Arduino IDE, and PID Controllers.
The design and fabrication of firefighting drones, commonly referred to as axphyxiator drones,
have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential to revolutionize
firefighting efforts. This literature review presents a comprehensive overview of previous
research and publications focused on the development of firefighting drones with a maximum
altitude of 40 ft. The integration of MATLAB, Arduino IDE, and PID controllers is explored as key
components in achieving stable and effective firefighting operations
Numerous studies have highlighted the critical role that firefighting drones can play in
emergency situations. Leveraging their agility and remote capabilities, these drones can provide
real-time surveillance, situational awareness, and even deploy fire suppressants to combat
wildfires.
Research indicates that the integration of MATLAB and Arduino IDE offers a powerful platform
for developing sophisticated control algorithms and strategies. MATLAB's computational
capabilities enable advanced simulations and optimization of control parameters, aiding in PID
tuning and performance assessment.
The limitation of a 40 ft maximum altitude is often imposed by regulatory requirements to ensure
airspace safety. However, innovative approaches to obstacle detection, terrain mapping, and
cooperative navigation have been explored to mitigate these altitude constraints while
maintaining safety protocols.
In conclusion, the research and publications reviewed underscore the promising potential of
axphyxiator drones (firefighting drones) equipped with PID controllers, designed and fabricated
using MATLAB and Arduino IDE. These integrated technologies not only enhance firefighting
capabilities but also showcase the continuous advancement of drone technology in addressing
critical real-world challenges.
