Hassas tarım uygulamaları için drone tabanlı püskürtme sisteminin geliştirilmesi ve değerlendirilmesi

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are increasingly used for various purposes such as photography, surveillance, mapping, inspection, and agriculture. This research specifically focuses on agricultural drones, which have the potential to address challenges encountered by farmers, ultimately positively affecting crop yields. Their ability to apply pesticides accurately and autonomously, without direct human involvement, is crucial for modern farming practices. This study aims to design and simulate a quadcopter specifically tailored for pesticide spraying. The design process involves careful selection of components and simulation using both SolidWorks and MATLAB Simulink. In SolidWorks, forces are applied to the frame to assess its durability, while MATLAB Simulink is used to simulate trajectory tracking using PID controllers. The drone is engineered for precision agricultural applications, aiming to revolutionize spraying techniques by targeting specific areas in the field based on data analysis. By pinpointing exact locations requiring treatment, this approach minimizes pesticide and water usage while maximizing profitability. The research focuses on evaluating the quadcopter's performance and trajectory accuracy, offering valuable insights into its potential agricultural impact, and assisting farmers in enhancing their profits.
