Coaxial Ducted Indoor Delivery Drone — Capstone

Designed, fabricated, and integrated a drone prototype as part of my undergraduate capstone project team

Published

Project: Sep 2022 – Apr 2024

Drone on the ground powered on
  • Wrote ESP32 firmware for an automated test stand to measure thrust and power consumption of coaxial propellers with varying propeller tip to duct clearances
  • Wrote Pandas data aggregation code to compare test stand data in Jupyter notebooks
  • Selected an autopilot, rangefinder, optical flow sensor, and propellers for the drone
  • Configured ArduPilot firmware for sensors, coaxial motors, and thrust vectoring vanes
  • Demonstrated takeoff, positional stabilization, and beverage can delivery
