Hazardous gas detection four-rotor UAV system development

This project is based on quad-rotor Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is made of ARM embedded system and STM32F1 series 32-bit micro-control Mono-Chip Computer. Under the framework of embedded operating system UC/OS, to replace the staff workers, this UAV is employed to conduct the detecting of noxious gas through all kinds of sensors. With the use of wireless transmission technology, it is possible to conduct real-time communication with mobile phone, to assist the ground staff to complete the detection work and auxiliary staff to undertake safety assessment, such as the exploring of natural caves, collapsed colliery, large underground pipelines, etc. This program could reduce the risk of high-risk work, but also save a lot of manpower and material resources.
