Coandă effect UAV (unmaned aerial vehicle) Goals: • develop an energy efficient UAV, easy to control and deploy in the field • try to make the UAV operate in an autonomous mode • research the swarm behavior and try to implement it over a small to medium sized network made from this type of devices • research about energy efficiency for sensor grids used in this kind of mobile devices • bring a new point of view over the way sensors array might be deployed/picked up in remote areas
Coandă effect UAV What have I done so far: • study different sensor in order to chose the most energy efficient/weightless one for the system • check to see if a Real Time Operating System might be implemented on such a device or try to use embedded software • study network protocols used in small to medium sized wireless array sensor
Coandă effect UAV Future usage of device • Search and rescue operations • Deploy sensors array in remote or hard accessible areas • Transport small cargo (up to 5-10 kg) without the need of a human operator • ] • Research, test and development of communication protocols and energy management system for different network configuration.
Coandă effect UAV Who have done research so far? • Henri Coanda – Romanian aeronautical engineer born in 1886. Patent No.2,108,652 dated February 15, 1938 concerned airflow acceleration over the periphery of a concave disc • Geoff Hatton – British inventor, built a small UAV based on the “Coanda effect” • Aesir-UAS in the GFS Project, have done projects that were later overtaken by US Army for future development and utilization.
