Design and Modelling of anAffordable UAV Based Pesticide Sprayer in Agriculture Applications

Abstract

The usage of multirotor helicopters in the agricultural system is increasing rapidly. In the present generation Automation is used in every industrial system but not much in agriculture. Till now most of the farmers are applying fertilizers and pesticides manually in their fields especially in developing countries. This causes many health issues to them because of the chemicals they are using. In near future Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAVs) are used in the agricultural field for monitoring, analyzing the field, disease detection, detection of the faulty area, identifying the suitable pesticide and applying the pesticide in the affected area. Present spraying systems in quadcopters are manually controlled or semi-autonomous. In this project, UAV is used for agricultural spraying which can be done semi autonomously.
