quad tech

We have designed a Quadcopter in a professional designing software- SolidWorks. This will be 3D printed on the Stratasys Fortus 400mc 3D Printing System The main advantage of a self-designed quadcopter is that its design can be modified at any stage of our project according to the future requirements. For 3-D printing this quadcopter PLA (Polylactic Acid) material will be used. It has high strength while having less weight which is advantageous for such flying robots. The cost of PLA material is also less so the farmers can easily afford this quadcopter. Rechargeable battery will be attached to give power to the motors and flight control board. Hence batteries can be used several times without replacing them The project aims at building a quadcopter that shall be used in the agricultural field for the following main activities: Aerial Monitoring of Crop Fields. : Aerial monitoring will be done by a surveillance camera which will record the video of the field at continuous instances.The monitoring of the drone will be an AI model trained which will sense for dangers that generally happen in the field.The camera while recording can capture any footage which the model will tell is dangerous or not and accordingly the alarm will be given to the farmer or control unit. Aerial Estimations of Crop Production.:The quadcopter through the camera will capture images of the crops at different times and days to know the type and growth of the crop which will then be put in the software to estimate the crop production or any deviation from normal growth of the crop. Aerial distribution of Crop Seeds.: seed dropping is a tedious task when it comes to large fields and in a country like India where major cropping is done with labour intensive work this consumes a lot of time. Therefore a 3D printed seed dropper will be attached when needed for dropping of seeds, this will serve three main purposes 1) less wastage of seeds 2) seeds will be dropped at a faster rate that means less time 3) seeds will be scattered in a better way.Another benefit is that the height of the quadcopter can be adjusted accordingly. Aerial Monitoring & Surveillance of agricultural fields: This serves as a security feature that the quadcopter will have, which will be useful for night surveillance as well to keep stray animals away from destroying the crop. Aerial Views and Recordings for Community Programs (Drone Shots)apart from being purely a device for agricultural purposes this can also serve for community purpose as to record videos in no man land, to explore more vegetative land, recording different views of the barren land, soil type, etc so that information can be collected before hand to determine which crop is better to grow, the soil conditions etc. The drone can be used for different views to determine the wind direction, rainfall and other geographical features. This information is vital for maximum output for agriculture. For transportation of objects from a place to another (Drone Deliveries) The dawn of the new delivery system is drone. This quadcopter is different from the normal drones that are used for delivery. The quadcopter uses GPS and signal system for point to point delivery.This ensures proper path of the quadcopter and faster delivery of products. Since the quadcopter is made of PLA it can carry more ;load than usual drones. One of the advantages of this quadcopter is that it can communicate with another quadcopter while in flight wirelessly like two planes sending signals to each other. This acts as a safety feature to avoid collisions.The communication between done wireless with the help of an Arduino module which can work up to 10 m of wireless communication. The Quad copter shall consist of auxiliary attachments such as Gimbals for Camera, Grapper for Seed dropping and Object distribution. These attachments shall empower the Quadcoptercopter with its enormous capabilities and utilities, making it a versatile aerial vehicle for all activities. Quadcopter will be placed on a particular spot in the field; the farmer just needs to press one button and it will automatically go and sow the seeds in the entire field and will come to its original position.This is done by the GPS system so that fast services can be done. The auxiliary devices that will be attached to the quadcopter can be changed very easily and easily the functionality can be changed. Dimensions of the field will be fed in the program of the quadcopter. According to the dimensions, all four motors will vary their speeds to move it in the desired path. Around 1-1.5 kg payload can be attached with this drone, so it will keep on spreading those seeds on the ground according to its pathway. It can also be used as a water sprinkler with an attached small water tank as a payload.

Our team has 4 team members, namely, Anshika Jain, Hans Agarwal, Kapil Goyal and Sumiran Gupta. Three of the team members are in the final year of engineering and one is in a masters course. All four of us have participated in different projects as a team and have also published some research papers together. The projects which we have worked on together were mostly related to drones and its working. In our previous project, we have constructed a quadcopter with a payload capacity of 2kgs and designed a seed dropper for agricultural purposes by using solidworks. One of the research paper’s that we have written together is Self designed 3-D printed mask to tackle covid-19 which has been published in the Global Journal of research in engineering (GJRE).
