| # Problem Today, both the primary and secondary industries need to carry out technology-led industrial upgrading, in such a process, how to efficiently detect the work flow is a major problem. For example, in the fields of agricultural inspection, power line and infrastructure inspection, environmental protection and wildlife monitoring, an effective, high-speed and wide-ranging inspection method will increase the productivity and accuracy of related industries. # Solution Overview The solution we give is to develop an eVTOL drone that can meet a certain load bearing, set up corresponding communication modules and cameras for it, and transmit real-time data back to the data cloud we build on the server, so as to achieve a large range and long distance accurate detection. # Solution Components ## Foam Board Body The foam plate body provides lower weight, thus reducing energy consumption and ensuring adequate performance in terms of movement and acceleration, while it has good insulation, which can effectively reduce heat transfer and noise diffusion. During the engineering phase, its characteristics made the air frame easy to process and had good impact protection characteristics. At the same time, foam board is also a more economical and environmentally friendly approach. ## Power System Internal micro controller for A/D conversion and initial signal processing ( Atmel atmega328 SIM Card Service ) Use SIM cards to provide identity authentication and data transmission in drone and cloud communications. SIM card technology allows drones to connect to a specific cellular network operator and use its network infrastructure to communicate remotely. In this way, the drone is not limited by distance, is able to perform long-distance missions, and can upload data to the cloud in real time. At the same time, it also ensures continuous connectivity between the drone and the cloud, and the drone can maintain a continuous network connection in the covered area. This allows for prolonged monitoring or data acquisition activities while enabling near real-time data analysis and decision support. ## Camera Cameras rely on built-in image sensors, such as CMOS or CCD, to convert light into electronic signals. These sensors divide the screen into pixel points, each point can record color and brightness information, analog cameras will capture the image into analog signal output; The digital camera further converts the analog signal to A digital signal through an A/D (analog-to-digital) converter. By reducing its size through encoding and compression algorithms (such as H.264, H.265) to reduce the bandwidth requirements during transmission, the compressed video data can be transmitted through the SIM's cellular network and stored in the cloud. # Criterion for Success Our aircraft must be able to lift more than 2kg and maintain smooth horizontal and vertical flight, while our cloud needs to be stable and receive video information from drones flying on the road |
