| Hemav is a technological based startup that offers aerial
services with UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). One of them is precision agriculture, where remote-sensing techniques combined with the use of several kinds of cameras (multispectral, IR, thermal ) generate maps containing information such as vigor, soil and irrigation determination. In order to offer the best quality of service to their clients, they want to enhance their current prototype by increasing its efficiency and autonomy as well as collecting more telemetry data for monitoring purpose in order to make it safer. Additionally they would also like to produce an agriculture optimized platform. In that context, the scope of this project would be to improve the actual prototype in terms of efficiency, autonomy and telemetry in order to produce a new UAV family optimized for agriculture purpose. Objectives: - State of requirements for agriculture remote-sensing applications. - Analysis of the current platform to identify the required changes to be made. - Add remote monitoring of several UAVs parameters to improve safety. - Design an easy-to-produce and low cost maintenance model. - Material selection for the production process. Methodology: This Master Thesis will start with a preliminary theoretical work containing the analysis of the current model in order to identify the required changes needed to fulfill expected requirements as well as the study and design (theoretical) of the different solutions. The second phase of the project will contain more practical work and will include the implementation and validation of the chosen solutions. The project will be in the context of an internship into the Hemav Company. The student will be able to demonstrate his skills on: research, electricity and mechanics among other areas related with aeronautics. In the scope of this project, the student will be able to apply his aerospace background as well as his electronics, structure and materials knowledge. |
