“…For its part, the work in [20] developed a UAV with fireproof materials that could perform firefighting missions and search for victims through the use of a fire extinguisher on board the aircraft and cameras that allowed a direct view of the environment. In this case, the UAV was a tool for fire brigades, since, through an operator who managed the UAV, it allowed knowing essential data of the environment and could help in the fire extinguishing efforts.…”

The advances in autonomous technologies and microelectronics have increased the use of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in more critical applications, such as forest fire monitoring and fighting. In addition, implementing surveillance methods that provide rich information about the fires is considered a great tool for Emergency Response Teams (ERT). From this aspect and in collaboration with Telefónica Digital España, Dronitec S.L, and Divisek Systems, this paper presents a fire monitoring system based on perception algorithms, implemented on a UAV, to perform surveillance tasks allowing the monitoring of a specific area, in which several algorithms have been implemented to perform the tasks of autonomous take-off/landing, trajectory planning, and fire monitoring. This UAV is equipped with RGB and thermal cameras, temperature sensors, and communication modules in order to provide full information about the fire and the UAV itself, sending these data to the ground station in real time. The presented work is validated by performing several flights in a real environment, and the obtained results show the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed system, against different weather conditions.

“…Por su parte, Imdoukh et al (2017) desarrolla un UAV con materiales ignífugos que puede realizar misiones de extinción de incendios y de búsqueda de víctimas a través del uso de un extintor embarcado en la aeronave y de cámaras que permiten la visión directa del entorno. En este caso, el UAV es una herramienta para los cuerpos de bomberos, ya que, a través de un operador que maneje el dron, permite conocer datos esenciales del entorno y puede ayudar en las labores de extinción.…”

<p>Los incendios forestales siguen siendo uno de los grandes problemas ambientales a los que se enfrenta la sociedad en la actualidad. Además del gran impacto medioambiental, la destrucción de ecosistemas y las posibles pérdidas humanas, hay que añadir los costes económicos derivados de la lucha contra el fuego. Todos estos motivos han provocado que se busque en la tecnología actual, herramientas y sistemas que permitan ayudar en tareas de la lucha contra incendios y, más en concreto, el uso de Vehículos Aéreos No Tripulados (UAVs). El hecho de que los UAVs puedan alcanzar lugares remotos de manera rápida y, embarcar sensores y dispositivos que ayuden en tareas peligrosas y arriesgadas, los hacen idóneos para la lucha contra el fuego. En este trabajo recoge el desarrollo, en colaboración con Telefónica Digital España, de una aplicación innovadora haciendo uso de la tecnología más actual presente en la robótica, en la cual un dron es capaz de realizar tareas de vigilancia y monitorización de incendios de manera autónoma, gracias a los sensores y dispositivos embarcados en el mismo. Además, se implementa una interfaz gráfica que permita el intercambio de información entre la aeronave y el usuario en tierra.</p>

“…The proposed drone design is based on a Y6 concept which consists of 6 rotors. The advantage of a Y6 copter is that it operates like a normal hexacopter but due to the mounting of the rotors the drone size is reduced [16]. This means that the weight is also reduced because of the reduced number of arms.…”

“…Furthermore, a Y6 copter runs normally with a lower motor speed than other UAVs because of the stacked motors. This reduces the heatlosses and improves the motor runtime [16]. However, the thrust efficiency of a Y6 design can be reduced by 5% due to the stacked propeller arrangements.…”

This paper discusses the design of a portable drone to be used by students for practical investigations of drone operating principles. The drone design is based on a Y6 frame module concept and takes into account the affordability and combinability of components which are widely available via the hobbyist drone manufacturing market. It is a foldable device and is protected against water ingress according standard DIN EN 60529 (IP01). The drone generates high thrust for a Maximum Takeoff Mass (MTOM) of 5 kg and the propeller design has been investigated and analysed in detail to determine the optimum location required to provide maximum thrust.
