Abstract
Due to their reliable technology and simple operation, drones have found widespread use in many fields. This study aims to plan, investigate, and build a quadcopter for use in farming. This drone is implanted for pesticide spray in the farms. An innovative quadcopter design that is easily removable and transportable is used in this study. The entire structure is developed in Iron CAD, and the viability of the new design is verified using stress analysis in ANSYS. Using the ANSYS analysis tool, the finite element analysis for the quadcopter body was conducted under extreme ambient conditions, and the stress distribution of the body was presented. Under the same load conditions, deflection and stress of the body are found at 6.17 mm and 8.11 MPa, respectively. PLA is used as the appropriate material for manufacture. A flight controller module with Arduino and MPU6050In is used to streamline and reduce the cost of the drone. Also, a GPS module was used to stand and deliver control at one stop.
