Drone manipulator optimization and integration in affordable quadcopter

This paper explores the development of a drone-attachable manipulator designed to perform construction and maintenance tasks, moving beyond the traditional use of UAVs for monitoring. Our primary objective is to design a manipulator capable of lifting objects weighing up to 300 grams, adhering to principles of low cost, ease of manufacturing, and high quality. We begin with a literature review of UAV types and their suitability for integration with manipulators. The design process involves creating multiple manipulator prototypes using Solidworks for simulations to gather data on performance and structural integrity.Static stress and displacement analyses are conducted to identify areas of high stress and potential deformation. Initial designs demonstrate that the static force required to hold a 300-gram object exceeds the capabilities of our prototypes. The final manipulator design is tested for its lifting capabilities and operational limitations. Re The study concludes with an evaluation of the design process, limitations, and potential for future applications of UAV-integrated manipulators in infrastructure construction and maintenance

Application of an autonomous taxiing system, on a medium-range passenger aircraft

Currently, among the issues that most concern airlines are controlling operating costs and reducing harmful impacts on the environment.One solution to reduce fuel costs and reduce environmental impact is the use of an electric green taxiing system, which can save several hundred thousand dollars per aircraft per year, thereby increasing overall business profitability while reducing the negative impact on the environment. Wednesday.This bachelor's thesis proposes an autonomous aircraft taxiing system based on the EGTS concept, however, it is proposed to use a hydromechanical system rather than electric motors to drive the landing gear wheels.The work presents a design solution for this system for a designed prototype aircraft and calculation of the main parameters of the taxiing system. This system may have practical applications.
