Curiosity Plus Mapper UAV
Curiosity is a FULLY AUTONOMOUS Mini Unmanned Multicopter aircraft designed for mapping. It is capable of carrying a 300
Gram payload. Most mapping cameras are under 300 Grams. The UAV is electrically powered with a very low dB level. The
aircraft is fully autonomous right from Takeoff to Landing. The UAV is made of composite carbon fiber and aluminum alloy.

| RTK GPS: |
-
u-Blox M8P RTK GPS on base and rover. The base GPS
has very high gain antenna to achieve 'Survey-In' in the least possible time. Strong communication link between
base and drone ensures uninterrupted RTK corrections in real time.
|
| |
|
| Survey Camera: |
-
The aircraft is fitted with a CANON camera with modified
firmware enabled with KAP_UAV.lua script which optimizes the
camera for mapping shots and takes still shots along the grid
waypoints. The pictures are then geo-tagged using the GCS
software and then processed on a mapping software like
Pix4D to form a 3D map that can be used for engineering
purpose. Any other suitable mapping camera can be installed
if it is under 300 Gms.
