There are many aspects that need to be considered when developing the mechanical system.
Facts
| Drone Tote | Height | Width | Depth | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | ||||
| Maximum | ||||
| Average |
Totes expected to be handled p/day:
Time Spent handling a tote:
Tote has barcode located in bottom right corner of the tote on both the front and back face, simplifies orientation problem.
Problem Description
| Environmental Factors | Dynamic Factors | Technical Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Rain | Birds | Waterproofing? |
| Snow | Bugs | Moisture Resistance? |
| Debris | Temp. affects on function? |
| Task/Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Positioning | Drone+/or Package reaches the correct place for dropping the package or entering the system |
| Identification | package+/or drone needs to be identified by the system so that it can further handle the package |
| Accuracy | drone landing/dropping of the package should be accurately placed in the landing zone |
| Speed | The rate at which a package should be handled to the next stage of the system |
| Size of Landing Zone | The size may effect accuracy of package dropping (want to make this as large as possible) |
| Flight Path Problem | How many DoF does the drone have to approach the opening? |
Assumptions:
- Drone has Obstacle Detection to avoid objects in its way

Research Questions
Identification
Question: What kind of identification methods are there and how do they work? Radio Frequency Communication
Barcode Scanning
Omni-Directional Scanner -
Fixed Position Scanner -
Require external power sources, otherwise batteries that need replacement often
Wiki-BarCode Scanners
[UPC Codes]
[Barcodes]
Barcode Scanner(s)
- MPSi system- omnidirectional or Single scanner (CRT, speed, direction, etc)
What this research contributes to the design of this component:
(Make selection about the type of scanner that can be used & Barcode and information stored on the barcode)
Orientation
Question: What kind of methods are there to position robots/carts/etc. and how do they work?
Landing Radius casting
Light Beaconing
Transponder signal?
RFID
Question: What are kinds of sensors that help detect contrast or symbols?
What this research contributes to the design of this component:
(Make a selection as to which orientation method will be implemented (if any))
What this research contributes to the design of this component:
(If transponders can be used in the beaconing and delivering of a package via drone)
