Abstract:
The project involves the design and development of a drone, an unmanned aerial
vehicle, that can be controlled remotely and has certain level of AI characteristics. The
drone will be interfaced with camera, GPS technology, communication module and other
technologies, making it suitable for various applications such as aerial photography,
surveying, mapping and alarm systems. The objective of the project is to create a reliable
and efficient drone that is easy to operate and can perform various tasks in the future.
Introduction:
With the increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles, the development of
drones has become a buzz in recent years. Drones are used in various industries such as
agriculture, construction, commercial, environmental, and military fields. They can access
areas that are difficult to reach, providing new perspectives and valuable information. The
design of a drone requires an interdisciplinary approach, combining knowledge from
electronics, software development and mechanical engineering.
Objectives:
The main objectives of this project are as follows:
• Design and develop a drone that is reliable, efficient, and easy to operate.
• Equip the drone with communication module, GPS module, cameras and other
sensors for surveying, and mapping.
• Implement safety features to prevent accidents and ensure the proper stability of
drone.
• Optimize the drone's flight time and range by trying different iterations.
• Adding a user-friendly interface for controlling the drone, allowing users to easily
switch between different modes of operation and adjust settings.
• Conduct testing and quality assurance to ensure the drone meets the required
standards and performs as expected.
By achieving these objectives, the project aims to create a drone that can be used in
various applications. The drone's versatility and reliability make it a valuable tool for
professionals and enthusiasts alike. Additionally, the project aims to contribute to the
development of drone technology and promote its safe and responsible use.
