Development of Drone Based Delivery System Using Pixhawk Flight Controller

Abstract

In 21st century, Drones have their plethora of advantages and that is the reason why drones are getting more popular among the people. Depending upon the number of propellers used, drones can be different types like quadcopter, hexa copter, octa copter. In this project, a quadcopter, which is fit for payload conveyance will be planned. A quadcopter is a one of a kind Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which has the capacity of vertical take-off and landing [1]. Drone ranges from 500grms to 1kg of weight depending upon the number of motors used whereas quadcopter can weigh up to 500grms. In this paper, the quadcopter is developed and it is controlled remotely from a ground control station utilizing RASPBERRY PI and GPS is used to trace the location of the drone. Here a server is used which can handle multiple drones. By utilizing the automaton in our design, individuals can just concentrate on request satisfaction and another benefit is that the package will reach in good condition. With drone delivery, the time and energy consumption will be saved.
