Abstract

Disaster can happen anytime and anywhere. First aid should be done as soon as possible, but not all disaster locations can be accessed easily. Therefore, it needs a vehicle that can deliver a rescue payload quickly and accurately to the location that difficult to access by humans. This research aims to create a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can deliver rescue payload or another payload automatically to a specific location. The multirotor type used is a hexacopter. It can carry a maximum payload of 2 Kg. The flight control (FC) used in the UAV is Pixhawk. FC used to control the UAV automatically based on the coordinate input and the specific direction. To determine the target of payload shipment, the UAV equipped with a webcam that can track the shipping target by capturing colour and shape. The UAV use the raspberry pi to process the image then send instructions to the pixhawk by using Mavlink and Mavproxy communication to drop the payload in the desired place.
