Drone for Environmental Protection

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The Senior Design Project focused on developing a drone system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) technology to monitor and protect the environment. The project involved interdisciplinary collaboration and extensive research to meet the specific needs and requirements of environmental protection using drone technology. The final prototype included features such as solar panels, performance testing, range estimation, and the detection of environmental violations. The project aimed to serve public and private entities engaged in environmental conservation activities by providing a time-efficient, real-time solution for detecting and responding to environmental violations. The project also addressed the overall cost and bill of materials. In conclusion, the Senior Design Project successfully developed an innovative drone system with AI technology to contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and the enforcement of environmental regulations.
