Design and Development of an Autonomous Pilot Drone for Security and Rescue Assistance

Abstract

The proposed project is to design an Autonomous Pilot Drone to assist the police or rescue team or an ambulance in order to rescue the casualties during accidents or in emergency situations and to monitor the area during that incident. There are many commercially available drone platforms, but all of them require manual interaction through a remote controller. This resulted in building an Autonomous Pilot Drone for Security and Rescue Assistance. In the proposed system the drone is a design using an autonomous guiding system with GPS technology. Such drones can fly and hover with programmed input from the on-board computer. Several unexpected issues made to sort out problems like slight weight imbalance, noisy sensor data, error in PID tuning and problem occurred when the battery gets voltage droplet. To fly such drone in autonomous mode, obstacle avoiding sensor is used to avoid accidents. The results are presented and discussed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed drone through Mission planning software and hardware result
