Design and Development of an IoT-Based Smart Hexa-Copter for Multidisciplinary Applications

Abstract

UAV or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle has become a ubiquitous term today because of its extensive uses in different fields. Different advanced technologies like robotics, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and computer visions make this term more advance and powerful. But most of the UAVs available at present are being used only for a specific purpose. In some cases, UAVs are designed with advanced features but cannot be used as versatile machines because of their inflexible nature. Like agriculture, drones are intended to be used for agricultural purposes only where the devices are not suitable for other fields. This work aims to remove this task-specific limitation and provide a solution where an IoT-based smart Hexa-copter can perform multiple tasks rather than any domain-specific task. A single machine would perform several dedicated functions in different fields, including agriculture, medical service, fire service, surveillance ingeniously and efficiently with futuristic features like remote monitoring and controlling, autopilot mode, talkback system, intelligent decision-making abilities, etc. In the coming days, UAV’s application’s necessity will increase where our proposed idea can put an epoch-making solution.
