Design and Testing of a Hexacopter Sprayer for Controlled Deforestation and Pest Control

Deforestation and pest control are two of the most pressing environmental issues faced by the agricultural industry today. Traditional methods of deforestation and pest control are often labor-intensive and rely on the use of harmful chemicals that can negatively impact the environment. This study presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a hexacopter sprayer for controlled deforestation and pest control. This study is initiated by designing the hexacopter sprayer to meet the specific requirements of the proposed model. Here, the components are selected for the hexacopter and fabricated the model. Then, the PID controller is incorporated and sensors are tested to ensure the proper functioning of the device. To test the hexacopter sprayer, experiments are conducted in a controlled environment. Further, the performance of the hexacopter sprayer is compared with the traditional methods of deforestation and pest control. The obtained results showed that the hexacopter sprayer was more efficient and effective than traditional methods. The controlled amount of pesticide delivered by the sprayer reduced the negative impact on the environment. The hexacopter was able to cover a larger area in a shorter amount of time, and its ability to reach difficult-to-access areas reduced the need for manual labor. We also tested the flight performance and payload capacity of the hexacopter sprayer. The device was able to maintain stable flight and carry a significant payload, allowing it to spray a large area in a single flight. The sensors and PID controller ensured that the hexacopter sprayer maintained a consistent altitude and avoided obstacles. Overall, this research study demonstrates the potential of a hexacopter sprayer for controlled deforestation and pest control. The hexacopter sprayer provides a more efficient and effective solution than traditional methods, while also reducing the negative impact on the environment. This study also highlights the benefits of using sensors and a PID controller to ensure the proper functioning of the device.
