3.0 CHAPTER THREE

IDUSTRIAL TRAINING / EXPOSURE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED

3.1 Overview of Drones

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are robotic aircraft that
can fly without a human pilot on board. They've become increasingly popular in
recent years due to their versatility, affordability, and wide range of applications.
Here's an overview to get you started:

Types of Drones:

 Multicopters: The most common type, featuring multiple rotors (usually 4

or 6) that allow for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). Quadcopters, with
four rotors, are the most popular choice for hobbyists and consumers.

 Fixed-Wing Drones: Resemble traditional airplanes with wings for lift and
a propeller for thrust. They require a runway for takeoff and landing and
offer longer flight times compared to multicopters.

 Hybrid Drones: Combine features of both multicopters and fixed-wing

drones, offering a blend of maneuverability and extended flight duration.

3.2 Understanding Drones

A drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft that

operates without a human pilot onboard. It is controlled either autonomously by
computers or remotely by a human operator on the ground. Drones come in a
variety of shapes and sizes, from small handheld devices to larger, more
sophisticated aircraft.

Types of drones based on the number of Propellors

  A number of propellors are provided to drones. More propellors improve the
stability of drones and load-carrying capacity but such drones need more
battery power to drive more motors to get high power.
 A quadcopter is a more popular drone.
 Bicopter (2 propellers)
 Triplecopter (3 propellors)
 Quadcopter (4 propellers)
 Hexacopter (6 propellers)
 Octacopter (8 propellers)

Working Principle of Quadcopter

 A quadcopter has four propellors at four corners of the frame
 For each propeller, speed, and direction of rotation are independently
controlled for balance and movement of the drone
 In a traditional quadrotor, all four rotors are placed at an equal distance from
each other
 To maintain the balance of the system, one pair of rotors rotates in a
clockwise direction and the other pair rotates in an anti-clockwise direction
 To move up (hover), all rotors should run at high speed. By changing the
speed of rotors, the drone can be moved forward, backward, and side-to-side
Quadcopter Dynamics
 The movement of drones is classified into four types based on the relation
motion between four propellors: 1) throttle, 2) Pitch, 3) Roll, and 4) Yaw

3.3 Core Functionality

Flight Mechanics:

 Lift Generation: Multiple propellers or rotors (common in multicopters) or

fixed wings (like airplanes) generate lift to keep the drone airborne.
 Flight Control System: The flight controller, the brain of the drone,
processes information from sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers to
maintain stability and control the drone's movement.
 Motor Control: The flight controller sends signals to the electric motors,
which adjust the speed and direction of the propellers for maneuvering.

Navigation and Positioning:

  Global Positioning System (GPS): Provides real-time location data,
allowing the drone to determine its position and follow a pre-programmed
flight path.
 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU): Combines sensors like gyroscopes and
accelerometers to measure the drone's orientation, altitude, and acceleration,
aiding in stable flight.
 Vision Positioning System (VPS) (optional): Uses downward-facing
cameras to maintain altitude and position, especially useful for indoor or
low-light environments.

Communication and Control:

 Remote Control (Optional): Allows a pilot to manually control the drone's

movement using joysticks or buttons on a ground-based controller.
 Radio Transmitter and Receiver: Transmit control signals from the remote
to the drone and receive telemetry data back, providing information on
battery level, signal strength, etc.
 Autonomous Flight: Advanced drones can be programmed for autonomous
flight along a pre-defined path using onboard software and waypoint
navigation.

Payload and Functionality:

 Payload Bay: Many drones can carry additional equipment for specific
tasks. This could include:
o Cameras: For capturing aerial photos and videos for various
applications.
o Sensors: LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) for 3D mapping,
thermal sensors for search and rescue, or multispectral sensors for
agriculture.
o Grippers: For carrying or manipulating objects in specific scenarios.

Power Source:

 Battery: Provides power to the motors, flight controller, and other electronic
components. Battery life is a crucial factor influencing flight duration and
range.

Overall, the core functionality of drones revolves around the interplay between
flight mechanics, navigation, control systems, and the ability to carry payloads for
specific tasks.
 3.3.1 Stage by Stage

Drones are flown using a flight controller. Put simply, the flight controller is the
“brains” of the drone. It takes in information sent to it by the remote controller,
GPS, obstacle avoidance sensors, and other components and then sends signals to
the motors to properly respond to the information.

3.4 Engineering Design

1. Defining Requirements and Applications:

 The first step involves understanding the purpose of the drone. What will it
be used for? (e.g., aerial photography, delivery, search and rescue)
 This dictates factors like payload capacity, flight time, range,
maneuverability, and environmental conditions the drone will operate in.

2. Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics:

 Airframe Design: The shape, size, and material of the drone's frame
significantly impact its weight, aerodynamic efficiency, and overall flight
performance. Factors like drag reduction and lift generation are crucial
considerations.
 Propulsion System: The choice of motors, propellers, and battery depends
on the desired flight performance. Battery capacity directly influences flight
time, while motor efficiency and propeller design affect thrust generation
and power consumption.

3. Flight Control Systems:

 Flight Controller: This electronic board acts as the brain of the drone,
processing sensor data, controlling motor outputs, and maintaining stability.
 Sensors: Essential sensors include gyroscopes and accelerometers for
attitude control, a barometer for altitude measurement, and a magnetometer
for compass heading.
 Control System Software: Software running on the flight controller
interprets sensor data, implements control algorithms, and translates pilot
inputs (from a remote control) or executes pre-programmed flight paths for
autonomous operation.
4. Communication and Telemetry:

 Remote Control (Optional): Allows for manual control via a ground-based

transmitter sending signals to the drone's receiver.
 Telemetry: The drone transmits data back to the ground control station,
typically including battery level, signal strength, GPS location (if available),
and flight parameters.

5. Payload Integration:

 The design must accommodate the specific payload the drone will carry.
This could include cameras, sensors, grippers, or other equipment depending
on the application.
 Payload weight and power requirements influence the overall design and
flight performance of the drone.

6. Safety and Regulations:

 Drone design needs to incorporate safety features to minimize risks during

operation. This may include emergency landing protocols, obstacle
avoidance systems, or geofencing to restrict flight zones.
 Regulations set by aviation authorities like the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration in the US) need to be considered during the design process.
These regulations may specify weight limitations, registration requirements,
and airspace restrictions.

7. Design Tools and Manufacturing:

 Computer-aided design (CAD) software is used to create 3D models of the

drone, allowing for simulations and performance analysis before physical
prototyping.
 The choice of materials and manufacturing techniques depends on factors
like weight, strength, and desired flight characteristics. Common materials
include carbon fiber, aluminum, and lightweight plastics.

8. Testing and Refinement:

 Prototypes are built and rigorously tested to evaluate flight performance,

stability, payload capacity, and compliance with regulations.
 Data from testing is used to refine the design and ensure the drone meets the
intended purpose safely and effectively.
3.5 Experience

How to Operate a Drone

 Operating a drone can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it’s important
to know how to do so safely and legally
 Here are some general steps to operate a drone:
1. Read the manual: The first step is to read the drone manual carefully, as
each drone model is unique and has its own set of instructions.
2. Register your drone: Depending on your location, you may need to
register your drone with the appropriate authorities.
3. Charge your drone battery: Make sure your drone battery is fully
charged before flying it.
4. Find a suitable location: Choose a location that is open, clear, and away

4.0 CHAPTER FOUR

Conclusion / Recommendation

4.1 Conclusion:
In conclusion, my SIWES at mechatronics laboratory as a drone operator has been
an invaluable learning experience. I have gained a comprehensive understanding of
drone technology, from safe operation and data acquisition to data analysis and
interpretation.

This internship has solidified my interest in the field of drone technology and its
potential applications. I am confident that the knowledge and skills I have acquired
will be valuable assets in my future endeavors.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Engr victor and the entire team at
Mechatronics department for their guidance, support, and encouragement
throughout my SIWES program.

4.2 Recommendation

I use this means to provide the following recommendations concerning training of

student in industrial training attachments:

I would like to suggest that a fund should be set with the charitable aim of
providing trainings to individuals about construction labors in other to generate a
pool of unskilled labors with basic knowledge and communication skills. I
recommend that the Industrial training fund (ITF) should provide stipends to
SIWES students during their programs rather than after. This will help students to
counter some financial issues that might arise during the program.
