Development of Low-Cost Agricultural Sprayer for Hexacopter Drones

Abstract

As the demand for efficient and sustainable agricultural practices continues to grow, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in precision farming has gained significant attention. Hexacopter drones, with their enhanced stability and maneuverability, offer great potential for optimizing agricultural operations. This publication paper presents a comprehensive exploration of a hexacopter drone tailored specifically for agricultural purposes. It delves into crucial aspects such as motor thrust calculation, flight time estimation, hexacopter dynamics, equations of motion, and the electrical integration of an existing drone with a spraying system.
