Abstract: A Quad-copter (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is basically a multi-rotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors (two clockwise and two counter clockwise). The power distribution on four rotors in a quad-copter is independent. In this project a similar family of UAV is used and distribution of power on its four different rotors is minimised, so it takes less energy to traverse to its delivery points and back to initial point. Project mainly focusses on energy management of UAV’s. In addition to energy management, we have also decided to add charging points in between the delivery points so that the UAV can be recharged in case of less charge.
Keywords: A Quadcopter, Arduino Board, Medical Delivery Points, Charging Points.
