Ecological Floating Island Multi-specification and Multi-sample Delivery Drone

Abstract

The exacerbation of water pollution due to industrial progress has highlighted issues of inadequate capacity, limited environmental adaptability, and subpar operational efficiency in monitoring and transportation within the intricate environment of ecological floating islands. To address these challenges, a design method for a multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system is proposed, emphasizing modularity and self-adaptation. The system features a six-rotor layout, a combination of a lightweight fuselage and a low power consumption power system to achieve high speed and extended endurance. It enables dynamic and precise grabbing and releasing of various sample boxes through a self-locking plug-in mechanism integrated with sensing and response capabilities at the base. Furthermore, stability in adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds, is enhanced through aerodynamic optimization and a multi-sensor fusion algorithm. Practical application demonstrates the system's effectiveness in meeting the requirements of normalized monitoring and swift sample transfer on ecological floating islands. It offers efficient technical solutions for ecological restoration and scientific research, showcasing broad environmental adaptability and potential for widespread adoption.
