INTERNATIONAL EXPERT COMMUNITY
IN THE FIELD OF "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS"
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
ENERGY INDUSTRY
LOGISTICS
Develop an autonomous power line maintenance system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), capable of performing a comprehensive mission within a restricted flight zone without operator involvement
Develop a prototype system in which a quadcopter lands on a parcel locker. The locker automatically identifies a suitable available compartment based on package size and initiates the unloading process. Additionally, develop a user application that allows the recipient to directly open the specific compartment where the package has been placed
Develop a bidirectional half-duplex communication system “UAV – Ground Station” that ensures stable control and telemetry at a flight range of at least 10 km in open air.
*The developed solution must be demonstrated indoors, inside a hangar with a flight zone of 10 × 10 × 6 m, with the declared characteristics measured using instrumentation.
Base equipment provided for development:
Wio-E5 Wireless Module (Bulk) – STM32WLE5JC
USB-UART
ST-LINK
Develop an algorithm for automatic classification of agricultural land on UAV-derived orthophoto maps (orthomosaics) with 10 cm/pixel GSD. Target classes include: arable land (cropland), road, shelterbelt/tree line, water body
Develop an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on the provided electronics for implementing a medical cold chain delivery system to remote and mountainous settlements. The task includes airframe design and assembly, firmware development, and control system configuration
Develop, on the SKL-F405MRH platform, a UAV capable of automatically returning to its launch point upon loss of the control link. The system must implement altitude hold and attitude stabilization, include a Return-to-Home (RTH) algorithm, and be validated through flight tests with intentional control cut-off to demonstrate stability and reliability
Develop software that uses multispectral imagery of agricultural fields to detect early-stage plant stress and generate prescription maps for variable-rate application of fertilizers or fungicides
Optimize the design of an agricultural drone spraying system using CFD-based hydrodynamic flow modeling
To develop a retractable landing gear for UAS with a take-off weight of up to 7 kg with specified contours
Tasks:
• Choose the layout of the chassis.
• Determine the installation location, taking into account the placement of other nodes.
• Determine the kinematic scheme of cleaning-release
• Select wheels from the presented range
• Simulate mounting points, cleaning-release rods (using the provided servos), struts and shock absorbers
• Print chassis parts on a 3D printer
• Assemble and work out the cleaning/release mechanism
• Demonstrate the safety of landing according to the criteria of NLG UAS
Development and demonstration of innovative solutions in the field of UAS operation. Competitors create prototypes for transporting agricultural cargo and servicing power lines, draw up technical documentation and defend projects in front of experts. During the competition, engineering solutions, quality of implementation and practical applicability of the developed systems are assessed
