About Scarecrow 植保無人機

Book Text：稻草人係一款專為農田作業設計嘅植保無人機。呢部無人機透過程式控制完成噴灑作業並自動返回基地。八軸冗餘設計配合自適應動力保護演算法，即使其中一軸出現故障，都可以保證安全飛行。機上裝有音響系統，會播放鳥叫聲，以驅趕田間嘅雀鳥，而唔會對佢哋造成傷害。主機架採用碳纖維製造，連接部件係用3D打印鈦合金製成，旋翼則採用射出成型工藝製作。旋翼仲可以喺無人機待機期間收集風能，實現自我充電。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The product completes plant protection operations and homing through program control, and collects wind energy through its own rotor to complete self charging. 8 axis redundant design with adaptive power protection algorithm. The main body of the scarecrow is equipped with a sound system to disperse the birds around the farmland by playing the screams of birds, so as to protect the farmland while not harming the birds.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length 1200 mm, width 400 mm, the diameter of each shaft is 343 mm.
Tags: Plant protection, pesticide spraying, drones, automation, hunger reduction.
Production Technology: 8 axis redundant design, adaptive power protection algorithm, pesticide spraying control technology, the main frame uses carbon fiber high temperature molding process, the link part uses 3 D printing titanium alloy, and the rotor and other parts use injection molding process.
Design Challenge: Our challenge is to integrate form and function, taking into account the aesthetics of form and functionality.
Research: Scarecrow has an 8 axis redundant design, combined with an adaptive power protection algorithm, even if one axis fails during flight, it can maintain safe flight. The product comes with audio module, charging module and camera module. When the drone battery is full, the excess battery will be transferred to the docking pole.
Inspiration: So far, the food famine caused by the locust plague has been a problem that people all over the world are suffering. The source of the overall design of the Scarecrow is the abstract simplification of the organic form of the branches, and the fuselage and bracket adopt an integrated streamline form.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in September 2020 and ended in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in December 2020.
Operation Flow: Use the set program to automatically complete the plant protection operation. After completion, it will use its own data cloud and GPS to accurately locate the location and stand by. During the waiting process, the charging module is connected to the docking column, the self charging is completed by collecting wind energy from its own rotor.
