Abstract

The experimental stand created is made for charging, testing and monitoring the processes that take place at a drone, in a static and also dynamic manner. On this platform we have developed, created and tested various kinds of sensors, and charging methods, rechargeable batteries, multicopper drones, automatically without disconnecting or disassembling them from the drones they serve. Also, at this level we fitted a flat zone, that is polarized where the drone will land, in a controlled manner and after a preliminary testing of polarity and of tension level, the charging will begin, as its parameters will carefully monitored.
