“…Another critical aspect of UAVs in logistics is the load-bearing capacity of the drone. Other UAV characteristics should be optimised to meet the payload requirement, which is a technical issue for wide-scale shipments (Clarke, 2014;Gruber et al, 2012). The drones are helpful for urban deliveries as they can take off and land in the most congested areas, highlighting the Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) feature of the UAVs, (Anbaroğlu, 2017;Clarke, 2014).…”

The research paper aims to customize the DJI F550 drone for efficient grocery deliveries by incorporating an electrically controlled hook and integrating set coordinates, providing a systematic and precise framework for the drone's navigation and delivery operations. The objectives encompass constructing a hexacopter equipped with a servo hook for payload detachment, creating a mobile application for order management, demonstrating ground operations and communication, and analyzing stress and load-bearing capacity.The primary goal is to automate grocery delivery, ensuring a hassle-free experience for customers in all weather conditions while addressing minimal privacy concerns. The current paper advocates for Urban Logistics, striving to save human resources, reduce customer burden, shorten delivery times, enhance privacy, and minimise delivery risks. Additionally, it explores optimization, including the upgrade of the drone’s battery and remote controller. Stress analysis using CATIA and ANSYS software is presented providing valuable insights into the structural integrity of the drone, revealing key considerations for enhancing performance and reliability. Conclusively, this paper investigates future scalability and commercial applications, ultimately proposing a fully functional drone-based grocery delivery system to revolutionise traditional shopping experience.

“…The selection of the UAV components focused on providing adequate payload, endurance, and flight stability. It is necessary to define the required payload before developing a system design (Gruber et al., ). The design requires intensive weight and power management to make it viable for bridge inspection because of the additional weights to carry and large search area.…”

Today, robots are expected to be used for the inspection of infrastructures such as bridges. One important task in bridge inspection is to acquire clear images of its various parts for further damage evaluation. However, this task has not yet been completely realized because of the complexity of bridge structures. For this situation, a UAV with a passive rotating spherical shell (PRSS) that can easily maneuver while protecting itself is introduced. In this paper, we explain the development of the PRSS unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on the design strategy. We then analyze its performance through simulated bridge inspection. Finally, we discuss the results of actual bridge experiments. The spherical shell has a size (D = 0.95 m) and structure (fullerene) that is well-suited for bridge inspection applications. It can also handle an impact equivalent to 2 m/s, which is more than the UAV's maximum flight speed. Test flight experiment also validated the characteristic of PRSS that shows a stable flight during disturbances. The image test also shows that the visual system can provide a full overhead view of the bridge. Likewise, it can detect a 0.1-mm wide line that replicates the damage (e.g., a crack) from a position 0.5 m away and while the camera moves at 0.3 m/s. These characteristics have yielded a system that can acquire inspection images from critical parts of the bridge. An evaluation by third parties confirmed the effectiveness of the system. Further, the system satisfies the mandatory requirements of the Next Generation Robots for Social Infrastructure (NGRSI) program.

Se presenta una guía para el diseño de cuadricópteros, que se enmarca en la implementación de una nueva metodología de movimiento de aeronaves. Esta nueva propuesta rompe los enfoques clásicos de desplazamiento cinemático, dando al cuadricóptero la capacidad de realizar inclinaciones parciales en vuelo. Esto sin afectar sus valores globales de posición, velocidad o aceleración. Todo lo anterior se centró en mejorar las capacidades generales de los múlti-rotores en el proceso de muestreo autónomo. Claramente relacionado con el análisis de superficies irregulares, generalmente visto en agricultura de precisión o simplemente en entornos naturales. Una división ha sugerido exponer paso a paso el ciclo de diseño de dos mecanismos cruciales, primero un brazo de cuadricóptero tubular en forma de T y en segundo lugar un mecanismo de transformación central. Ambos proporcionan al lector una mayor comprensión sobre el completo y extenso proceso de diseño de la aeronave. Cada una de las diez piezas integradas está completamente organizada, se levantan fácilmente y también correctamente justificado cumpliendo el factor de seguridad general de tres punto ocho.
