| ABSTRACT | The design and development of a cost-effective multi-purpose drone has gained significant importance due to its wide range of applications in surveillance, payload transport, and real-time weather monitoring. This project focuses on the development of a versatile Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) capable of performing multiple functions efficiently while maintaining low cost and high reliability. The drone is equipped with essential components such as a flight controller, GPS module, camera system, weather sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure), payload handling mechanism, and wireless communication modules to ensure stable flight, precise navigation, and real-time data transmission. The proposed system integrates both hardware and software to support autonomous as well as manual operations. The drone can be remotely controlled using a mobile or web-based application, enabling users to monitor live video feeds, track location, collect weather data, and manage payload delivery tasks. The onboard sensors assist in obstacle detection, altitude stabilization, and environmental monitoring, thereby improving safety and operational efficiency. The multi-purpose drone is specifically designed to perform tasks such as aerial surveillance, payload transportation, and real-time weather data collection for analysis and forecasting. Its modular design allows easy customization based on user requirements and application needs. The system is developed with a focus on affordability, energy efficiency, and user-friendly operation, making it suitable for both industrial and research applications. Future enhancements may include AI-based object detection, improved battery performance, fully autonomous navigation, and IoT integration for intelligent data processing and decision-making. The developed drone presents a practical, scalable, and economical solution for modern aerial operations. |
