Disinfectant spraying system with quadcopter type unmanned aerial vehicle technology as an effort to break the chain of the covid-19 virus

Harfina, D. M.; Zaini, Z.; Wulung, W. J.

Spraying disinfectants as a preventive measure to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 is still being carried out by officers manually by surrounding all parts of the building. Technological developments in the modern era can help and simplify this job by using drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to spray disinfectants indoors. With the use of UAVs, officers can spray remotely to reduce the number of officers and avoid transmission. In this paper, the researchers designed a UAV quadcopter using a 2200 KV BLDC motor controlled by the SP Racing F3 flight controller. This design has been able to be flown by carrying 200 ml of disinfectant which is ready to be sprayed. However, for a quadcopter to be able to lift loads that are greater than the BLDC motor specifications, the battery capacity and motor specifications need to be increased. © 2021 Department of Agribusiness, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.
