This is an independent personal project. Inspired by global forest fire incidents, this project was designed to improve firefighter safety by tracking fire spread in real time. The drone detects fire, monitors its direction, and alerts personnel with visual signals.
My Contributions:
Challenge & Solution:
Unbalanced mass caused unstable flight. I redesigned a lightweight camera mount and adjusted the center of mass using mechanical principles.
Outcome:
Stable autonomous flight, accurate fire-color tracking, and reliable mode switching. As my first complete engineering prototype, this project showed me how robotics can directly protect lives.
