Quadrotor — an aerial surveillance device which four students from the College of Engineering Pune developed as part of their final year project
A remote-controlled helicopter with a webcam fitted in it. Remember Joy Lobo from the Bollywood hit 3 Idiots whose project gets completed when Aamir Khan in his role of the famous Rancho, picks it up?
This kind of a remote controlled device has actually been made by engineering students from Pune. Four students from the College of Engineering Pune (COEP) developed this project — Quadrotor — a flying robot for surveillance as their final year engineering project.
Their project received the best project award by Forbes Marshal on Friday.
The Quadrotor is basically a flying robot which can be used for surveillance when mounted with a camera on it. Omkar Shaligram, Vivek Rasane, Arvind Sadikar and Shailendra Ridhorkar all mechanical engineers now, have devised this project as their last year B Tech project under the guidance of Professor Shantipal Ohol of the mechanical engineering department of COEP.
“All the four of us were very interested in robotics and when Ohol Sir gave us the idea of making a flying robot, we immediately took it up,” said Omkar.
How it worksThe robot consists of four motors called brushless motors with the capacity of 1,500 RPM/volt and four propellers (two pushers and two trackers).
Two sensors are fixed to reduce the imbalance while flying and to give propel the flying machine in the right direction. “When a camera is installed on the robot, it could be act as a flying robot,” said Shailendra who has already gotten placed with Accenture in Pune.
All the four team members have already gotten placed in various companies. Vivek is working in Mumbai and Arvind is in Gujarat.
SpecificationsThe flying robot can ascend up 1.5 meters above the ground and fly steadily. The four propellers attached with motors of capacity 1500 rpm/volt help it in flying.
The battery they use gets current of 10 ampere and can run the machine for almost an hour. “The capacity of motors, battery and sensors can be increased for commercial use,” the students claim.
“The most challenging part in designing the robot was to make a foolproof control system,” maintained Shailendra.
Ashish Bhat’s flying machineThe flying machine shown in the film 3 Idiots was actually made by the then IITian Ashish Bhat. Ashish along with his fellow students of IIT, Bombay had devised it. Ashish is an entrepreneur now.
Professor Shantipal Ohol from COEP said, “Ashish’s design was adopted for making the well-known high tech defence device by DRDO called Netra — The unmanned aerial vehicle.
I saw a demo of this design of Netra about two years back and I forwarded the same area to students this year.” The flying robot Quadrotor is made on similar lines.
Selected students projects got financial support from the college. The project of the team Quadrotor got selected and is financed by the college. Now the same project also bagged the award for best project from Forbes Marshal.
