Abstract

The scope of this study is discussion of a methodology for designing and manufacturing quadcopters for use in agricultural settings. This particular quadcopter is equipped with a pesticide spraying tank that is attached to it. Because pesticides pose a risk not just to the insects they are intended to kill but also to humans. Pesticides are harmful to humans because they alter the nervous system and induce sickness. An unmanned aerial vehicle, often known as a UAV, may be used to spray pesticides and fertilizers, therefore reducing the risk to humans in the area. As a direct result of this, the goal of this project is to design and construct a quadcopter that is equipped with a spraying unit for use in agricultural applications. This will have a competitive advantage in terms of area coverage because to the speed of the UAV, and it will also reduce the amount of pesticide that is wasted. By reducing the amount of manual labor that must be performed by humans, this tactic helps save both time and money. However, a number of issues, including crop area that is not covered in the spraying process, overlapping spraying, and other challenges that are typical in manual spraying, have the potential to reduce productivity or possibly cause harm. The load-carrying capability of the UAV and the spraying unit will serve as the foundation for the design plan. It is planned to build and evaluate a radio-controlled quadcopter, also known as an RC Quadcopter.
