1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as Data Mules for Reconnaissance and Environmental Monitoring - Srikanth Saripalli srikanth.saripalli@asu.edu ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY / SCHOOL OF EARTH AND SPACE EXPLORATION
2 Data Mules An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that has wireless communication capability sufficient amount of storage to store the data from the sensors in the field. Travels across the sensing field and collects data from each sensor node and later deposits all the data to the base station. Improve servicing strategies (time, $$$, safety) Telemetry: State of Health; data samples Robotic data retrieval Feasible for broad range of conditions (environmental; across political boundaries) Data mule flies to remote site based on flight plan or autonomous navigation Can be tasked to loiter at specific waypoints Design is to fly to site, make contact with ground recording system, loiter during WiFi data transfer Can also gather images and other relevant data
3 First Cut gm UAV Includes autopilot, GPS, camera 40 mph flight speed 1.5 kg payload capacity $1,000 per vehicle!!
4 Drawbacks of Low-Cost UAV Exploration in Field Tests Power Restrictions Batteries - limited flying time ~20 min Fuel - more expensive UAVs which require advanced pilots and frequent repairs Remote deployments make refueling/charging difficult in the field Wind/Weather Conditions Most small-scale UAVs are difficult to operate in winds exceeding 15m/s Inclement weather requires canceling tests Restricted Take-Off / Landing Locations Heavy vegetation or rough terrain can make landing UAVs very difficult. Reliability / Repairability Low-cost UAVs are often cheaply constructed and are prone to wear & tear, and require constant repairs and attention Other Concerns Waypoint following inaccuracies Payload carrying capacity
