1. ENTRANCE
This detailed design report gives detailed information about the design process
followed in the design stages of the project on "Cargo Delivery System with Drone" of the
"EEE491" course.
The main problem addressed in the project is that shipping systems are too
dependent on human beings, so the accidents and mistakes encountered can negatively
affect human, product and environmental factors.
Job descriptions and rules determined by our consultants in the design of the
transport system, today's scientific studies in this field, the necessity of having an
appropriate and affordable cost, and the environmental factors in the environments where
the use of the vehicle (drone) is aimed have played a major role.

1.1. Design Problem

In our daily life and business life, the quality of the work to be done in order to achieve
quality is as important as the fast and safe transportation of the products to be produced.
In today's classical cargo transportation; The main problems such as damage to the product
during transportation, minor or major damages to living and non-living environmental
factors during transportation, unacceptably prolongation of the transportation time, the
efficiency of the product transportation process to remain at certain levels and therefore the
inadequate energy saving. For this reason, health and safety issues are evaluated as a
design problem and appropriate solutions are tried to be presented.
1.2. Purpose and Importance of Design
The main purpose of the design is to minimize the human factor in product
transportation and to contribute to the industry by increasing the occupational safety in
transportation systems.
The design of the vehicle has been made in accordance with the user goals, taking
human health and environmental factors, dangers into consideration. The project also aims
to ensure that the vehicle reaches its target in the shortest possible way in a healthy way,
thus providing fast and easy use and increasing energy savings.

1.3. . Design Constraints

1) The developed vehicle should reach the coordination with the GPS module with the
lowest error rate and energy expenditure on the shortest route.
2) The engines of the vehicle must be suitable for lifting 5 * 5 * 5cm loads.

1
3) The package should be left within an area of 1 m².
4) After the drone has delivered the cargo, it should return to its starting point
autonomously.
5) The system cost should be limited to a maximum of 3000 TL.
6) Electronic circuits must be able to function fully between -20 ° C and + 40 ° C.2.
2.CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
This section contains the final version of the conceptual design presented earlier.2.1.
Concept Development
Since this project addresses the design of an autonomous drone system that can fulfill the
requirements, previous studies have been investigated and several projects have been
found that address similar topics. The information obtained from these studies formed an
idea for the project to be designed. Two of the academic studies on similar fields are given
in the following titles together with the summary information from the thesis studies.
GPS GUİDED AUTONOMOUS DRONE
In this project; An autonomous flying drone, especially a quadcopter, is being
designed. The drone is equipped with a GPS tracking system and is programmed to fly
autonomously from one location to another using GPS coordinates. Safety and durability
have been taken into consideration considerably due to the possibility of collisions with
various objects. In addition to collisions, the drone is also rugged enough to operate in
moderately windy conditions. The aim of the project is to establish a small-scale
autonomous air delivery system similar to the future delivery system that Amazon is
targeting. The top and side views of the final version of the project are given in Image 1.

 AUTOMATIC ROUTE DETERMINATION AND TRACKING FOR
DRONES

In this project, it is aimed that the drone (UAV) follows the assigned route and
returns to its starting point without any need for an operator. For this purpose, it is aimed to
be operated automatically through the GPS module and sensors to be added to the device.
Basic physical components for the operation of the drone; defined as energy source,
controller, sensors and modules. In this study, PixHawk flight controller, which is widely
used as a controller, and a 5200mAh 3S Li-Po battery was chosen as the energy source.
GPS module to determine the position of the drone, ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles,
barometer to determine the height, and flow sensor to ensure the stability of the drone in
the air. In the application, DroneKit library was used to develop the necessary software to
control the drone, and Mission Planner was used to work with the flight controller to
monitor the instant sensor and status information of the device. Two different operating
environments, simulation and real systems, were designed to test whether autonomous
flights operate successfully and to perform the flight. Open source ArduCopter virtual
drone was used in the simulation environment. The simulation was installed in Windows
10 environment and a virtual simulation drone was created by compiling ArduCopter using
MavProxy in the Mavlink infrastructure. The created virtual simulation drone is monitored
through Mission Planner. Image 2 shows the route the drone follows.

2.2. Mission Requirements
The tasks that the drone will undertake are defined as follows in order to meet the need and
to provide problem solving;
Task 1 - Cargo handling: To ensure the delivery of the product; It must be able to carry the
cargo at the starting point and take it to the desired delivery area.
2. Task - Automatic routing: Delivery should be able to reach the desired point
automatically.
3. Mission - To follow the route without dropping the package: It is expected to deliver the
package without being affected by weather conditions such as wind and rain during
delivery.
4. Mission - To be able to land at the delivery point: When reaching the delivery area, it
should be able to land near the delivery point.
Mission 5 - Returning to the starting point: After the delivery is completed, the vehicle is
expected to return to the starting point.
Task requirements are summarized in Table 1.
2.3. Design Requirements
The design of the vehicle should be made to meet the mission requirements. For this;
• Selecting the engine to be selected with a power suitable for the load to be carried and the
weight of the vehicle
• Selecting the batteries that are strong enough to keep the vehicle in the air until the
vehicle leaves the starting point and returns to the starting point,
• Choosing the appropriate GPS module for the drone to determine the route.
• Selecting the engine and the appropriate ESC to control the speed adjustments of the
vehicle engines,
• Selection of propellers suitable for the engine and with a diameter that can lift the cargo,
• Choosing the appropriate motherboard for the integration of sensors and control units
• There should be a suitable cargo platform in order to prevent the cargo from being
affected by wind and rain.
2.4. Evaluated Concepts and Configurations
Our design is designed to be simple and similar to other designs in the same space.
Efficiency is prioritized and task-oriented work is aimed. All the specified criteria have
been evaluated and the appropriate hardware and software have been selected to complete
the task completely. Its maneuverability and speed capability has been adjusted according
to the equipment and the route layout. It is aimed to return to the starting point in case of

4
any malfunction or obstacle. Vehicle equipment has been selected in accordance with its
ease of operation under the specified conditions.
Unlike other existing projects, it was predicted that the change we made in the load
lifting mechanism would bring along a few problems and it was decided to place
appropriate equipment on the drone by producing appropriate solutions to these problems.
With the adjustments, tests and experiments to be made, the vehicle is expected to
complete the task completely in accordance with all criteria.

2.5. Calculation and Amount of Unit Weights

The list of materials to be used in the design is given in Table 2 below. The weights
of these materials are approximately indicated next to them.
Metarial name Amount (Adet) Mass (gr)

2.6. Final Conceptual Design Configuration

Simplicity, understandability and durability have been taken as a basis in the design in
accordance with the determined project constraints and the tasks to be performed by the
vehicle. In order to facilitate the maneuvers to be made by the vehicle, the necessity of the
motors to be used to operate with maximum efficiency by consuming the least energy and
the necessity of staying in the air sufficiently were realized by using brushless motors.

5
In the selection and design of the electronic equipment, priority was given to reducing the
cost and weight load on the vehicle, so it was thought that it would be appropriate to use
this loss in the transport of the load by minimizing the loss of movement caused by the
weight of the vehicle. In other words, with the reduction of the weight of the vehicle, it is
aimed to carry more weight by using less power. This directly affects the cost of the power
supply to be used and the efficiency of the vehicle by increasing the load carrying.
Due to the advantages of its cost and easy programming capability, compatibility with
sensors (camera, GPS) and motor drivers to be used, the number of available digital pins,
and its low power consumption, it can be used at low voltage values. It was designed by
taking.

The basic modules that should be approximately available in the autonomous drone are
shown in the figure. In addition, the basic connection scheme of these elements is
discussed. Connections or elements may change at the next design level. It is even possible
to experience the number of additional elements used.

In addition, in this connection diagram, the input output output, current and power data of
electronic or electromechanical systems are not specified. Only their relationship with each
other is given at an introductory level.
DESIGN LEVEL ONE(1)
At this design level, we will look at what is in the blocks we saw in the previous
stage and which individual elements they should be connected to, and what data they will
receive from them or what data they will transmit to them.
CAMERA
The system needs image data as it will operate on a computer vision basis. Therefore, the
camera is an essential component of this system. At this stage, it was decided to work with
a 480p camera in order not to take much memory. The camera would only send data to the
DSP module. Data is digital data.

DSP
DSP is the unit that will process the data it
receives from the camera. At this stage, it was
decided to use a raspberry pi electronic card for
the DSP unit.
This card, which will be programmed in Python language, will process the image data and
transmit it to the central control unit in the most appropriate format.

 BATTERY

The battery will serve as the power source for the drone. When deciding on its
size and type, the tare calculation of the drone should be chosen according to the
current to be drawn depending on the rotor RPM value required depending on the
weight of the package it will carry. In addition, since other circuit elements work
with electrical energy, these elements can be energized separately or can be
provided over the main battery.

POWER UNIT
The power unit is responsible for transmitting the
necessary power to the motors for the movement to take place.
In drones, this element is called ESC (Electronic Speed
Controller). ESC or ESCs must be compatible with the body of
the drone. For a drone with a short wingspan, the central ESC
called 4-in-1 should be used, or 1-1 or 2-1 ESCs can be used for
a drone with a long wingspan. The biggest advantage of 4-in-1
ESC is that it is a single element and is located in a safe place
on the body.
ESCs have essential 2 input and 1 output terminals. One of the input terminals is connected
to the power supply and one to the control unit. Thus, the ESC adjusts the power to be
transmitted to the motor according to the signal from the control unit. Output terminal is
connected only to the motor.

 PROPELLER AND MOTORS
Drone engines should be selected with the capacity
to produce the necessary torque to carry the tare weight of the
drone and the package load, if any. Similarly, propellers
should be selected in a width that can carry this torque and in
dimensions that can provide the required fluid movement.
Motors have KV ratings. It has been deemed appropriate to use
a 3100 KV motor. This means that this motor is rotating at
3100 rpm without any propellers attached under 10 V / 6A voltage and current. It has been
decided to use a 2 pole 6 inch diameter propeller as the propeller.

COMMUNICATION UNIT
The communication unit is responsible for the
communication between the ground control center
and the drone, as well as the location determination
by using coordinates since it contains a GPS module.
Here, the ground control center is intended as a
control. It detects simple commands that will come
from the control and transmits them to the control unit. At the same time, the battery fill
rate, height, engine rotation speed, etc. from the sensor group. It is also responsible for
sending the data to the controller.
It was decided to use NRF24 module for bi-directional communication within the unit. The
communication band is 2.4 GHz and the communication between two stations can go up to
250 meters in an unobstructed environment. The module can work integrated with
Ardunio. In addition, PCB design can also be made.

 REMOTE CONTROL
The controller represents a ground control station. Commands such as "cancel task",
"return" are transmitted to the drone by the
transmitter from the remote.
The remote also informs the drone operator about the
physical condition of the drone by reflecting the
sensor data sent by the drone's sensors with the help
of the communication unit with the display indicator.
In this way, the user can be sure that everything is
working well on the drone.

SENSORS
The drone has to use some data while performing its
mission. Some of these are data such as height, battery
charge rate, engine rotation speed. Our goal is to ask the
drone to send us the data that will answer questions such as
how accurately we are following the route we envisioned
while doing the drone mission, is it at the height it should
be right now, will its battery be enough to complete the mission.
The sensors that should be on the drone at this stage are:
1) Altimeter (for altitude information)
2) Gyroscope (for directional information)
3) Optical encoder sensor (to measure motor speed)
4) Ultrasonic proximity sensor (to avoid collision)
5) Battery charge sensor (for battery information)

10
 CONTROL UNIT
The most important part of the drone is
its brain, the control unit. This unit is called the
"Flight Control Board (FCB)". Market review
has shown that some types have built-in
gyroscope and GPS modules.
Flight control card is the unit that
receives data from sensors, evaluates them and
makes final decisions. This unit also evaluates
the commands that will come from the control and implements them immediately.
Since our drone will be processing the image, it takes the processed image data
from the DSP module and whether it is where it should be, or whether it sees the signs or
images that will enable it to perform the task, whether to approach depending on this,
decide whether to reduce the height or do any of these, cancel the task and return to the
starting point. takes the necessary decision for.
Since the flight control card works in conjunction with the ESC, the flight control
card also monitors the speed of the motors and drives the ESC to change the speed data
where necessary.

3- DETAILED DESIGN

3.1. Dimensional Parameters of Final Design

The design was designed by considering the weight and the required lifting force,
as it contains many sensors and equipment. The length of the vehicle planned to cover the
design requirements was designed as approximately 300 mm. Considering the weight of
the equipment owned by the vehicle, it was thought that these equipment should be placed
in suitable places for the vehicle. Since it will lift the load from the front, it is aimed to
place the heavy equipment starting from the rear of the vehicle towards the front in order
to stay in balance. The weight of the vehicle together with the equipment was calculated to
be around 1 kg. In order to pull the load, the pulling force of the platform was considered
and the weight effect of the load on the vehicle was calculated. A design plan was made
considering the sensitivity of the elements that may be affected by vibration while in
motion and any disconnection criteria.

3.2. Structural Features and Capabilities of the Final Design

It is requested from the design that loads of certain weight and characteristics are
autonomously transported, left to certain delivery areas and returned to the starting area.
The design was discussed under separate headings as load and vehicle. A GPS module and
image processing sensor have been added to the vehicle so that the vehicle can move
autonomously. USB connection was made to the vehicle over a windows based software in
order to receive commands from the user. It is equipped with sensors in order to easily
locate the vehicle. A return to the starting point was provided upon the need for the vehicle
to receive commands again. A brushless motor was used to make the vehicle move easily.
It was determined that there are some uncertainties in this project, which was designed by
considering the design requirements. These uncertainties can be listed as follows:
• How will the load lifting and carrying performance be,
The sharpness of the mechanical turns that the vehicle will make while carrying the load,
• Uninterrupted communication with GPS, connection status,
• The condition that the vehicle can move easily in weather conditions.

3.3. Selection, integration, architecture of systems and subsystems
The selection of the subsystems in the design has been designed in accordance with
the criteria of cost, efficiency, easy coding and being part of a user-friendly system.

3.3.1. Raspberry Pi
The first thing to do in the design is to choose a controller that mainly distributes
the tasks to be performed and controls the performance of the tasks. The fact that this
controller is compatible with other subsystems to be used, can operate at low power, is at
an acceptable level in terms of cost, and is easy to program, will add extra advantages to
the design.

Tablo 3. Arduino and Raspberry Pi Comparison
As seen in the table, it was seen that the Arduino family has more advantages over the
Raspberry Pi family. But the tasks to be done by the project are at certain levels, and
Arduino was removed from the options because it was not at a level to meet these
requirements.

DESIGN LEVEL TWO (2)

In this design phase, the finest details of all components will be included, and the exact
parts to be used will be selected while the drone is finalized. On the other hand, the drone
will be assembled and the test phase of the vehicle will begin.

13
 DSP
DSP, raspberry pi was chosen in our drone vehicle. This card is of one type and we
have decided to use RASPBERERY-4.
This card can operate synchronously with the flight control card to be selected and
there are samples made.

FLIGHT CONTROL CARD

The flight control card is the decision-making centerpiece of the drone and is an
indispensable element for the autonomous drone. During this period, we scanned many
flight control cards and found that there are many models in the 150 TL - 1500 TL band.
However, for our autonomous drone project, we decided to use the "PixHawk" card, which
has autoplot software, which will allow us to add or add to this software and has a lot of
package content. This card has different versions for different purposes and the element
marked in red has been selected. Namely;

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER

Since our drone is not for industrial purposes, but for training purposes and the
amount of load it will carry is not much, it is predicted to have a short wingspan. Since the
wingspan is short, instead of placing 1 ESC in each arm, that is, instead of 4 1-in1 ESCs, it
has been deemed appropriate to choose a 4-in-1 ESC to be positioned in the center. As a
result of market researches, the ESC marked in red was deemed appropriate due to its
price.

contrary, the interface of the flight control card is suitable for communication with the
computer.
SENSORS
The sensors that are internally on our flight control card are sufficient for us, and it
has been decided to use the following sensors as an option.
1) Optical reflection sensor (to measure motor speed)

DECISION
Weight factor is important in motor selection. The calculated weight, including the
body of the drone, was 534 grams. It is predicted to be 600 grams with internal sensors.
Although it is large, the maximum weight of the drone was calculated as 700 grams in case
of a 15% margin of error, and the engine selection was made in this regard and the 1st
engine was won. Depending on the choice of the propeller to be made later and the
selection of the battery, the engine may change, but since the selected engine is well above
the drone weight values, it will not be affected by the weight of the propeller, battery and
other connection elements.

20
 PROPELLER
Manufacturers use numbers in two different
formats.
Here; L: length, P: pitch, B: number of palms.

For example, we have a 6 * 4.5 (also known as

6045) propeller. Here 6 represents the length and 4.5
represents the pitch. Length units are in inches.
To give another example, the numbers 5 * 4 * 3
or 5040 * 3; Represents a 5 inch long, 4 inch pitch, 3 blade or 3 blade propeller.

Sometimes you can see the word "BN" on the impeller. The "BN" here indicates a
stubby nose propeller (bullnose). Sometimes you may
see the words "R" or "C" on the impeller. The
expressions here refer to the rotation of the propeller.
If you see the word "R" on the propeller, it means
"reversed". It should be attached to the propeller
rotating clockwise. If there is a "C" it must be
attached to the motor rotating counterclockwise.

As the drone team, we decided to use the 2-

blade 7045 propeller, that is, the propeller with the
above features. The 7 gram weight of the drone is
included in the calculated weight, the calculation is
correct. The price of our product is 28,13 TL
BATTERY

Considering the engine to be used in the drone, the most suitable battery for us
ZOP Power 11.1V 1500mAh 40C 3S Lipo Battery.
Its price is 140.96 TL and its weight is 115 grams.
Please pay attention to the operating voltage of the motor and the operating voltage of the
battery.

4.3 Job Packages
In this section, the work to be done during the design process is planned by
dividing into processes and shown on a work time chart. Gann diagram is preferred to
show this scheme. This diagram is shown in Table 1 in the "Annexes" section.

5. TEST PLAN
In this section, the components of the system to be produced and the tests to be performed
on all
plan will take place. The plans include how and when each test step will take place.
It should include a process to be implemented. Three types of test plans will be made. 1)
Unit testing,
2) Integration test, 3) Acceptance test.
5.1. Unit Tests
In unit tests, the components used on the vehicle and each of which has an important role
in the vehicle's task should be tested separately and checked whether it works as desired. In
other words, the subcomponents of the whole system should be examined unit by unit, the
expected result and the result data should be compared with the test forms, and the errors
should be removed and improved according to the result. The table of unit tests performed
is in the appendices.
5.1.1. Engine Thrust Test
Propellers are attached to the motors and a weight that cannot be lifted and a sensitive
scale is placed one by one. The motors operate at full power respectively and the measured
values are expected to be equal to each other. Finally, the data obtained are compared with
the values given by the manufacturer of the engine.
5.1.2.Raspberry Pi Tests
Camera is integrated into Raspberry Pi device. Display connection is made with an HDMI
cable. The camera hardware is powered up and tested.
GPS is integrated into the Raspberry Pi device. Display connection is made with an HDMI

24
cable. GPS positions are requested and the results obtained are compared with the current
GPS positions.

5.1.3. Target Recognition and Positioning Test

The object / shape that needs recognition is shown to the camera. Software description of
the object is made. Prepared codes are run and tested. The codes used are given in the
appendices. (ANNEX 1)

5.2. Integration Tests

Integration tests should be done after the unit tests are completed and positive results are
obtained. After the unit tests are completed, the necessary connections should be provided
between these sub-units and larger units should be created. The harmonious and integrated
operation of the sub-units is very important for the vehicle to fulfill its mission completely,
accurately and efficiently. Integration experiments test whether the main modules fulfill
their functions. Test setups should be able to be associated with high-level design, and
should be written by taking into account the characteristics of the design architecture.
5.2.1. Pixhawk Integration with Raspberry Pi
Connection between Raspberry Pi device and Pixhawk 4 control board is made. Display
connection is made with Raspberry pi HDMI cable, then control card integration codes are
entered via python. The codes used and the test table are given in the appendices.
(ANNEX-2) (Integration test-1)
5.2.2. Drone Movements and Control Card Tests
The drone is made ready for use, and connection tests are performed through "if"
commands. The codes used and the test table are given in the appendices. (ANNEX-3)
(Integration test-2)

25
5.2.3. Target Recognition and Movement Towards Target
After the drone goes to the given GPS position, it is tested to detect the target introduced to
it and move towards it. The codes used are given in the appendices. (ANNEX-4)
(Integration test-2)
5.2.4. Landing and Cargo Drop Test
After the drone goes to the target introduced to it, it is tested to land on the ground and the
mechanical arm to release the cargo. The codes used and the test table are given in the
appendices. (ANNEX-5) (Integration test-3)

5.3. Acceptance Test

After the acceptance test, unit and integration tests are completed with good results, it is
the test determined according to the customer's requirements. The acceptance test is a
formal document that includes the conditions under which the customer will receive the
produced system. Generally, the system is requested to be tested under environmental
conditions of the user. Tests are set up to verify that engineering requirements are met. It
may not be necessary to pass every test for the system to be accepted. The importance of
each test should be stated in the acceptance test document. Since test plans are made at the
beginning of the project, they may need to be reviewed according to the needs arising in
the process. The four basic characteristics of a good requirement are abstraction, precision,
traceability and verifiability. A verifiable requirement provides an objective criterion for
evaluating the system as pass / fail on the test result.

26
6. OTHER ISSUES

6.1. Ethic
During the project process, attention was paid to act in accordance with originality and
ethical principles. The topics such as showing the sources used in the research, awareness
of responsibility, confidentiality and security are handled in accordance with ethical rules.
In addition, group members always acted with courtesy and respect towards each other.
6.2. Standards to be followed
IEEE802.11p /LTE-V2V : It covers all vehicle communication systems as an
umbrella protocol where sensor data can be transferred at high speed with low
loss.

ISO 45001: It is the standard of occupational health and safety.

ISO 27001: It is designed to protect information assets and to provide adequate

and proportional security controls that give confidence to interested parties.

IEC 61850: It is an international industrial communication protocol used for

electrical network data communication.

6.3. Sustainability
Sustainability is the ability to continue the project even after it is completed, in other
words, ensuring the permanence of the project. Updating the electronic devices and
software used in the project ensures the sustainability of the project.

6.4. Health, Environment and Safety

Health and environmental criteria have always been prioritized in the project. Personal
protective equipment was used in the use of solder, heater, and cutting tools during the
assembly phase. The health and environmental damage risks that may be caused by the
product during operation were examined and reduced to zero. Occupational Health and
Safety criteria were used as a provider tool in these three issues.
6.5. Legal

Persons who damage living, non-living things and the environment as a result of using the
design outside of its intended purpose and not being used under the specified standards and

27
conditions will be legally subject to material and moral penal sanctions. In addition, the
manufacturer will face legal sanctions as a result of the failure to perform the tests and
trials required during the production of the product and this situation endangers the
primary person and the environment. In addition, as a result of unauthorized copying and
production of the electronic and mechanical design of the vehicle, our patent owner team
has the right to initiate a material and moral legal struggle against the real or legal persons
who perform this transaction. This legal process may result in the other party's
compensation or imprisonment.

7.RESULT

In this study, it is aimed to develop an autonomous drone for use in cargo delivery. With
the autonomy of the device, the workforce used has been reduced to almost zero. In
addition, accidents that may occur during today's cargo transportation process are
prevented. The vehicle goes to the GPS coordinates entered into it, thanks to the control
card and Python programming, and determines the point where it should leave the load via
the camera and positions itself. Then he leaves the mechanical arm he has to drop the cargo
with the programmed software again. After completing the cargo drop process, it
determines the return route to the starting point (can be the cargo distribution center) and
returns. Units to be used were determined with the tests performed and design plans were
made. Then the units were tested one by one and made ready for integration. After
successful completion of the tests with integrated systems, the project was made ready for
completion. During the project construction process, ethical values were complied with
and the design was shaped by considering health, environment and safety. Accordingly, it
is envisaged to be completed in the targeted time in the plans determined for the project.
