Abstract

To give aid and a helping hand during military activities or calamities is the aim of SMARTONOMOUS BOT, an unmanned flying robot that can transport medicinal kits, hover, share data and even record smartly. It applies the law of Physics and requires angular momentum. The movement is like multiplying the angular velocity by the moment of inertia to attain a balance and stable flight.The researchers assembled the 450mm frame, Arducopter module is installed. Soldering the electric speed module in the power distribution module was also done. Electric Speed Controller Cables and servo cables were manually attached while I2C Navigation board were added to make use of the GPS. Microcomputer, camera and any other navigating tools. The device was programmed with phyton and c++. A data gathering process was utilised in which the researchers tested the abilities and features of the device. Mainly, the ability of the robot to carry medicinal kits weighing 480g to 1.5k was evaluated. After that, sub testing of minor functions was also done such as; Auto mode and Manual Mode, Basic Drone Features, GPS Waypoint Navigation, Live Stream Video FPV, Face Recognition, Fully Automatic Flight, IoT DataLogger and analyser, Telemetry, and object avoidance. Observation shows that SMARTONOMOUS BOT can carry 1.5k weight without having 50% lower flight stability, 88% accurate in object avoidance while 94% in face recognition. In conclusion, SMARTONOMOUS has the potential to be a military technology in lending aids during activities.
