Project Summary

The world health organization estimates that there are over one million-health hazard cases each year, large death and injuries in developing countries, due to pesticide sprayed by soul and handling of the pesticides. This project is providing optimum design and reliable operation of agricultural hexa-copter drone sprayer, which is economic solution of problems, faced by community while agricultural spray of pesticides. This drone sprayer is from family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for helping formers in the field. It is an autonomous aerial surveyor, which will provide aerial surveillance, recognize and track various objects in the agricultural field, and is a rapid application of plant protection agents. Agriculture fertilizer spraying drone has proven as unique method for reducing time and human efforts. In this project, prime objectives are, to design and develop the reliable spraying mechanism, parametric analysis, investigate component selection criteria, and, suggest different controlling parameters of efficient spray mechanism of drone, to integrate with low weight aluminum structure of hexa-copter frame of drone, which could lift payload of 3 kg including itself.

Project Objectives

The objectives of this project are to

• Design and build the reliable spraying mechanism of drone sprayer
• Do parametric analysis and investigate component selection criteria of hexa-copter drone sprayer according to desired payload
• Make Hexa-copter drone sprayer, which could lift payload of 3 kg including itself.

Project Implementation Method

Project will initiate with the designing of spray mechanism to mount with hexa-copter drone. Selection of the components of drone such as frame design, propeller design, motor, GPS antenna, pump, nozzles etc., would be done according to desired payload. Control system would be designed and verified. Desired Parts would be purchased and hexa-copter Drone will be build and presented after test and trials.

Benefits of the Project

• It helps in, improves coverage, boosts chemical effectiveness and makes spraying job easier and faster.
• Benefit of this project is to spray the crops in less time.
• It will be very beneficial for the health of farmer.
• It save plenty of time to spray the crops to increase production rate of agricultural field.
• Do not destroy or demolish the crops as they are affected by human foots during spray. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• Microcontrollers.
• BLDC connects with the motor and controlled by ESC.
• UAV is controlled by radio channel transmitter and receiver of Pixhawk.
• Sprayer module is controlled by controller which is activated by RF transmitter.
• LIPO battery 6S.
• 3 kg hexa-copter drone sprayer
