Introduction

Overview:
Since then The Wright Brothers started the boundless and endless voyage to
the sky, countless advancements have been done in order to satisfy the thirst of making the air
transportation perfect, reliable, easy and convenient. One of the major advancement in last
few decades is “Multi copters”. The need for aircraft with greater maneuverability and
hovering ability has led to a rise in Quad copter research. Research is continuing to increase
the abilities of quad copters by making advances in multi-craft communication, environment
exploration, and maneuverability. If these developing qualities can be combined, quad copters
would be capable of advanced autonomous missions that are currently not possible with other
vehicles.

Objectives:
The goal of this project is to build a demo quad copter and use it as emergency
vehicle for delivering the primary first-aid tools, medical kits, medicines to those areas where
delivery by land is difficult. Also the quad copter is used for rescue operation of humans. The
most prone cases can be like in Himalayas Areas, Natural Disaster areas etc.
Thus this project comprises several objectives which are listed below:
1. Building a Flight control system using a Microcontroller, Accelerometer and Gyro sensor
based on PID control Mechanism.
2. Implementing such built Flight control system to build a reliable Quad copter.
3. Using the GPS technology to find the target area and deliver the first aid kit.
4. Making the system autonomous so that it could deliver to the targeted place.
5. Implementing the thermal sensors to detect the human during rescue operation
 Project Outline

The project has been divided to several phases, encompassing several

techniques and studies that we did in College. The general outline is described below, steps
by steps so as to present the project motives and ambitions in concise but simple manner.

 Building the frame and other mechanical parts

For the development of framework we will be using lightweight aluminum rods and design
according to the need.

 Building the Flight Controller System:

To build the Flight Control System we are going to use Arduino Microcontroller along with
several positional sensors like MPU 6050 along with the co-ordination of Electronic Speed
Controller (ESC). We will be using the data obtained from gyro and accelerometer sensors to
build a stable flight control system.

 Applying PID Control Mechanism via Programming

Supply to the motors is controlled by the ESC which eventually gets the control signal as
programmed in Arduino. Similarly the feedback from sensors is used in programming to co-
ordinate the control signal which is a PWM signal. Several PID tunings are to be done to make
quad copter stable to any projected disturbance.

 Finishing
After finishing above phases we will be communicating with quad copter with Radio signal
or Bluetooth (depends the funding) and control its global position with relative to earth via
GPS module. A carriage box is fitted below the quad copter so as to carry the products
(medicine or any object within the specified weightage criteria). Addition of Thermal sensing
is done if funding is enough to buy the sensors. Using this techniques a final prototype quad
copter is built that could serve in Health issues and disaster areas.
 Application of Project
The main application of this project is to apply the unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV); which is quad copter in this project, in the humanitarian and health sector as fast cheap
and reliable delivery device for medicines, medical kit to the health post and health center
from the nearby hospital. During case of emergency sometimes it may get quite hard to get
the corresponding medicine, so this kind of vehicles can be used to deliver the materials in a
very fast and convenient way.
Also quad copter can be used in Rescue operation. With the help of thermal
Sensors quad copter can locate the lost persons and are especially useful at night or even in
challenging terrains.

Project Summary

Summing up the project is about applying the knowledge of programming,

Control system, Communication techniques and Mechanical system in order to build a quad
copter so that it could be used in Health and Humanitarian sector as a best solution for
problems in mentioned field. The project is an integration of engineering and humanity so that
difficult tasks in real world as mentioned above are to be solved conveniently and reliably.
 Cost Estimation

At first, talking about the cost, we would like to mention that several parts and
equipment have been already bought by us. Since this project is dreamed before this event,
we were trying to learn the mechanism behind the quad copter so we bought equipment on
our own. So the already bought items are listed below with their cost.
S.N Already Bought Items Quantity Cost (NRs)
1 Brushless DC Motor -1450KV 2 1700
2 Electronic Speed Controller –Simonk 30Amp 2 2000
3 Propellers 2 250
4 MPU 6050 1 575
5 Bluetooth module HC-05 1 875
6 Arduino Uno Mega 2560 1 2400
8 Arduino Uno 1 1300
9 Miscellaneous 1500
Total 10,600

As we have already spent fair amount on this project but still we lack several
equipment which we would to like to be funded by the organizer. As a side note we are not
charging organizer any amount for the already brought items. But we are anticipating to be
funded for the remaining items, so that we could work hand on hand with together with the
organizer. So we request the organizer to strengthen our vision we projected, by helping us
financially .The remaining equipment are listed below based on possible requirements.
S.N Required Equipment Quantity Cost(NRs)
1 Brushless DC Motor -1450KV 2 1700
2 Electronic Speed Controller –Simonk 30Amp 2 2000
3 Propellers 2 250
4 GPS Module 1 1800
5 Bluetooth Module HC-05 1 875
6 Li-Po battery along with Charger 1 5000
7 Miscellaneous 4000
Total 15625

 Conclusion
In conclusion, this project provides a window for students like us to understand, apply and
share the knowledge of engineering so that the human civilization can be engineered in an
innovative, easy and convenient way. Though concept of using the UAV’s in health and
humanitarian isn’t a fresh idea but still the idea suffers several difficulties in production,
implementation and reliance. Thus the probation and building by own self is quite a good step
in developing the knowledge about UAV’s. During building-up of the quad copter, several
alternatives can arise and advancement in specification can be done but that solely depends
upon the funding delivered by the event organizer. But in other side, we are also strongly
determined to build a demo quad copter at a minimal criteria that would help in health and
humanitarian sector.
