Project Summary

The aim of our project is to fabricate an autonomous delivery quadcopter. Quadcopter have recently become a promising solution for rapid parcel delivery due to advancement in technology and navigation systems. It is taken into assumptions that quadcopter is to be programmed with the application to deliver consumer products of small weights. Its
flight is controlled autonomously through cellphones. Quadcopter have inherited limitations in battery capacity and pay load, which make their efficient operation and
manage a critical problem for a successful delivery system. Parcel delivery using quadcopter has many advantages over existing ground vehicle delivery system. It is also possible to reduce the cost of maintenance in a quadcopter delivery system since they are less expensive than ground vehicles and easier to repair. A quadcopter can achieve vertical flight in a stable manner and be used to monitor in a specific region
through a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor, wherein instructions for the delivery quadcopter can be received from a quadcopter management. Delivery time can be reduced since quadcopter are not interrupted by the established infrastructure such as traffic lights and volume of traffic. The goal of this project is actually to design, fabricate parcel delivering quadcopter to explain stable flight with wifi in it and can perform auto commands given by quadcopter management such as auto landing and operates with
incredible power and precision.

Project Objectives

The goal of this project is to design and fabricate Parcel Delivering Quad copter. The Quadcopter follows an autonomous pre-described route to a specific destination with real time tracking. It will perform delivering process by giving command to servo motor that is attached to a delivery box and will operate with incredible power and precision.

Project Implementation Method

In this project we are going to make a parcel delivery quad copter by using APM as flight controller. We have connected a receiver to receive commands from transmitter and send
signals to APM and then it will send signal to ESC’s and calibrate itself using compass. We have also connected GPS to provide path for delivering the parcel autonomously. Moreover we are going to make a parcel delivery box to hold the parcel of small weights by servo motor attached to delivery box.

Benefits of the Project

Generally, home delivery of the parcels requires human dependency. This process consumes fuel of Vehicle i.e. Car or Motorcycle and also consumes service time.

Therefore, the motivation for selecting this project is to develop new vehicle for delivery purpose, which is capable of:

? Food Delivery.
? Emergency First aid purpose.
? Postal Deliveries.
? Different types of parcel delivery as well.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

After all these struggle, the final face of the project will be a Quadcopter, which will be capable of delivering a parcel to any location autonomously. Location will be pinned by the operator and Quadcopter will follow its pre-defined path to reach that location given by the operator through an open source android application. The Quadcopter will land at its given destination and then servo will open the delivery box so that one can take out the parcel and then Quadcopter will fly back to its take off location or Home location. All the operations of Quadcopter will be autonomous. Operator will be able to monitor complete flight in realtime at Ground Station through Radio communication and can also control its parameters during flight but there will be no need to control anything but this feature is for emergency purpose.
