Autonomous Delivery Drone
In rural area, traditional way of package delivery methods can be costly because of limitation of road condition and resources. A lot of companies today are working on this approach.[1][2] With the drone, it would save both time and money for small amount of deliveries. We are designing an autonomous drone for the food/medicine delivery. The drone we designed would be able to lift things up to 2kg via using a claw which is being controlled by Raspberry pi. The landing would be accomplished with the GPS instruction inserted in the controller (the address would come from the app of users) and IR beacon/IR sensor for accurate landing. We would also use the camera in the drone to verify if the object is sent to the correct location.
