SPIDRONE is an environmentally friendly Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that provides a tracking mission, uses inductive charging, and solar charging. The name SPIDRONE is an acronym to Solar(S) Power (P) inductive (I) DRONE. The SPIDRONE’s mission will be to track its user by utilizing GPS to follow its user’s path, based on the waypoints created by the user’s movement. The SPIDRONE will not be operated manually, instead its flight patterns will be managed autonomously. Solar energy was the preferred energy source for our charging substation because it is environmentally friendly. This component of our design makes our SPIDRONE very cost effective since the solar radiation are harnessed at no cost. SPIDRONE will incorporate a magnetic resonance charging technology. Our charging substation will have a wireless power transmitter pad that will deliver power to a receiver via multi coils. The motivation behind SPIDRONE, stemmed from a mutual interest in drones, and advances in technology that is becoming available in everyday life. The technological advances that have interested us were the advances in wireless charging in cell phones and televisions and the convenience it provides by not having to plug the phone in. With the advances in solar panels providing an increased efficiency and lower costs, we realized that it would be feasible to apply solar energy to our project, which will ultimately cut down on operating costs of SPIDRONE, and cut down on the emissions that our project may create indirectly from using power provided by utility companies. We also decided to create SPIDRONE to be fully autonomous in order to reduce human interaction.
