Assembly and Programming of Hexacopter Drone for Surveillance and Medical Kit Delivery Purposes

Abstract

The project aims to assemble and program a hexacopter drone that can serve the purpose of surveillance in terrains and the delivery of medical kits in remote locations autonomously. Delivery of medical kits using drone technology resolves traffic issues faced by the ambulance during medical emergencies on the other hand drone technology also helps with surveillance in aerial monitoring, military, and agriculture. This Hexacopter drone is assembled by motors, 1045 propellers, Pixhawk flight controller, Electronic Speed Controller [ESC], S550 Frame, GPS module, 12 channel receiver, and transmitter. A Lipo battery is used for power supply power supply. An open-source mission planner software does the programming of the drone. Installation of a camera module for real-time footage during the drone’s flight. delivery of the medical kit can be traced through the mission planner software. Technical data provided in this project is based on the parameters of motors and propeller specifications. At the final stage, the footage captured by the camera module during surveillance is stored in mobile phones, and delivery of the medicinal kit is done by autonomous flight without a pilot onboard.
