VIDEO:
Design Problem:
In todays society online shopping and deliveries are a huge part of our lives, more mail and products and being delivered everyday but with that comes increased amounts of traffic.
Objective:
Our objective is to make deliveries more effective and efficient through the use of drones, using drones to deliver mail instead of cars would greatly decrease the amount of traffic and carbon emissions emitted to our planet.
Potential Customers:
Shipping companies such as FedEx and DHL.
Unique Features:
What distinguishes our idea from our competitors would be the ease of transport using drones thus leading to much faster and more efficient delivery times. Our design adds value to the community by reducing traffic and pollution.
Fly over and skip through traffic.
Use considerably less power to operate.
Could be operated safely while indoors.
Design Process:
After defining the problem and collecting information, we ended up with three ideas
Drone with a claw to hold the box
Drone that shoves contents from the side of the box.
Drone that drops contents from the bottom of the box.
After analyzing the ideas we had we came upon the decision to go with the first or last idea. The first idea seemed more feasible for cargo of heavier weights and larger sizes which our drone doesn’t have the capacity to carry. Ultimately we decided to go with the first idea and developed it into the prototype we have now.
Final Budget:
Arduino Board: 9.97$
Wiring: 3.29$
Nails: 1.79$
Motor: 2.29$
String: 0.99$
IR Remote: 6.78$
Receiver: 2.69$
Total:27.80$
Final Thoughts:
We learned a lot throughout this semester and accomplished things I never thought I could do. But the one thing I wish to do differently if I were to go back in time is to finish everything on time to have more time to update and improve upon the project, also avoid unwanted accidents and have the time to fix upon them.
