Autonomous battery swapping system for quadcopter

摘要: Multicopters drain much energy from the battery because of on-board avionics system and other devices. Limited by capacity, missions that require longer flight time cannot be fulfilled if there is no vehicle replacement or external logistics support. Secondly, such as large area surveillance reconnaissance a fleet (swarm) flying vehicles working in collaborative persistent way, which makes maintenance support more challenging. In view this, we have designed an automatic multicopter refuelling - autonomous “hot” swapping enables for quadcopter on ground charging station so to minimize its down time. The uses hot ensure data loss during process. To achieve fully mission, precision landing design also provided this work. precise will capacitate (fleet) with endurance mission requirements. This paper presents automated quadcopters includes concept mechanisms control test results.
