Description
UAVs are being used more than ever to improve quality of human life. A lot of effort has put in to the logic of the UAVs. To find the optimum pathway to fly or to put more sensors which that UAV can see and interpret, these trials are great way to improve utilization of UAVs. However, the limitation of UAVs come from the flight time. Due to the usage of a chemical battery, the UAV must carry a heavy battery. Some groups overcome the usage of the battery by using Piezoelectric device attached to the wings to collect energy from vibration, or solar cells attached to recharge the battery during the free flight . Instead, this project investigates the on ground operation, called ‘ground station’ to compensate short duration of flight time. Increasing the number of ground stations can enhance the flight distance with a conventional battery. This approach can be applied to both fixed wing or quad copter, UAVs.
