Design & Fabrication of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to outline the steps necessary to build a microcontroller-based, wireless-communicating unmanned aerial vehicle (quadcopter). Drones come in many forms and configurations, including but not limited to bi-copters, tri-copters, quad-copters, hexacopters, etc., each of which is a kind of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). As a result, different configurations are used for various purposes. Adjusting the rotational speed of one or more discs, and hence the vehicle's torque and thrust/lift characteristics allows for precise control of its forward motion. Quad-copters enter a wide variety of shapes and sizes each tailored to a certain task. Motors, batteries, and electronic speed controllers (ESCs) may range from lightweight to heavy-duty, depending on the quad-intended copter's use and the tasks it will do. GPS trackers, cameras, and infrared cameras are all examples of upgrades that may be utilized to improve disaster relief, search and rescue, agricultural, and three-dimensional geographical mapping operations.
