Overview of the project

The design project is to increase the payload and increase the efficiency of quad copters and program them to be autonomous matter the place it is in. The motivation for doing this is I want to increase the amount of uses for a quad copter. Current quad copter can only carry cameras nothing very heavy and they can only fly for a very limited time and must be controlled by a user watching it somewhere. I also made a quad copter before and noticed it can be used for more than surveillance. My goal was to make the quad copter be able to carry equipment into hard to reach places and also carry rescue and disaster equipment to help after a disaster that a ground or walking robot can’t go to. The issues we face are with the weight and power of the quad copter we might not be able to lift so much. By the end of this project we will produce a quad copter. It will have an on board processor on it. That will be able to lift heavy items and be able to fly for an extended period of time.
