This is a presentation of my senior design project of a Drone Delivery service. The purpose of this service is to help efficiently improve modern day transportation of goods and services through mew technologies.
2. TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
▪ A Drone Delivery Service
▪ Advantages and Disadvantages
▪ Factors to Consider
▪ Future Implementation
▪ Future Additions
3. A DRONE DELIVERY SERVICE
▪ What is a drone?
▪ An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
▪ Remotely or Autonomously controlled
▪ Drone Deliveries
▪ Utilizing drones as an efficient alternative
to delivering goods
▪ Capable of working with delivery drivers
and with each other
4. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
▪ Easy to traverse difficult terrain
▪ Shorter routes
▪ No restrictions with the current
transportation infrastructure
▪ No need for “costly” human pilot
Disadvantages
▪ Intensive energy requirements
drive cost up
▪ Deliveries must be less than 15lbs
▪ The more weight and further the
distance, the more energy is used
▪ Could potentially be hacked into
7. FUTURE ADDITIONS
▪ Collision Detection with inanimate objects
▪ Have truck pause and have drones return to truck
▪ Allow drones to maneuver around blocked cells
▪ Incorporate more forces
▪ Gravity
▪ Air resistance
▪ Environmental forces
▪ Include more details to drone
▪ Weight limit
▪ Fuel/Battery life
