Examined existing designs, designed and proposed three different autonomous UAV designs over almost 3 years for package/vaccine delivery. Won 6+ national and international competitions and gained media coverage as well.
Worked on:
1. Electronics: Researched and finalized between various ways and specific components for multiple purposes:
•Obstacle avoidance using a combination of photogrammetry(cameras), radars, and lidars, with the specific components, computational power, and overall coverage in mind.
•Calculated the power system configuration considering the lift, maximum speed, and power reserve into consideration.
•Selected components for redundant communication and location tracking of the UAV. Considering aspects like loss of signal, the urban canyon effect, etc.
•Designed the final circuit diagram in Fritzing.
2. Simulations: Did Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations using Fusion 360 and Simscale to calculate and analyze results like the lift to drag ratio, coefficient of lift, and coefficient of drag.
3. Business Case: Examined the real-world business feasibility of deliveries using autonomous UAVs. Presented business cases based on the specific challenge requirements.
4. Design: Researched various designs, compared them using efficiency, speed, challenge feasibility, etc., and selected designs based on the challenge.
Important: Media for only one project is share as all of them are similar in nature
