Senior Capstone Project - Mid-Air Drone Recharging
College Station, Texas, United States
Project Statement: Design, test, and implement an electro-mechanical connection between 2 quadcopter drones to allow for mid-air recharging.• Developed strong cooperation skills by working in a team of 7 students with differing skill sets.• Collectively designed a method of in-air recharging between two drones that required the use of both mechanical and electrical engineering concepts.• Worked as a team to use multiple methods of concept selection techniques, such as Pugh Charts and a Morphological Matrix, to decide on the best concept.• 3D modeled a quadcopter connection prototype and provided detailed engineering blueprints of the design.• Conducted regular project update meetings with the sponsors from Bell Flight.• Improved technical writing, interpersonal communication, and project presentation skills.
