Tiivistelmä
Replacement of flight batteries in drones can be a repetitive task and automating it could create more use cases for drones. This work aims to provide one such method using solutions that could be configurable between different types of drones. Therefore, features such as machine vision and open chain robotics were chosen to create a proof of concept-style prototype of such system.
The constructed system should consist of hardware and software and should be capable of exchanging batteries in drones in a short time period. Optionally, the system should have the capacity and functionality to store and recommission smaller drones from storage. The designed hardware of the described system was developed from multiple separately designed blocks that together form configuration of final assembly. Software largely utilizes OpenCV and Kinova Kortex libraries with Python programming language.
The designed system was capable of exchanging flight batteries in under two minutes as well as storage and recommissioning drones. During testing, a few shortcomings and key issues were identified. Acquired results from this work could be used in further development of systems with better capabilities and features.
