Procedimiento y viabilidad para el envío de paquetes en campos de Golf mediante tecnologia drone

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to study the feasibility of using drones in golf courses and designing an operative use. The first step was to conduct a search for the existence of drones with the ability to carry packages and see if this service currently exists on some golf course. After this search it was concluded that the technology needed to make a delivery of a package with dron exists and that there is no golf course in Europe that performs an operation of this style. The next step was to design an operative to deliver packages on a golf course, obtaining the following methodology: given a golf course, set several collection points and design routes to carry from the same point of departure the package to the different deliver points. To achieve all this has been designed a code written in Python that is able to create a web server with the golf course map where the user selects his position, act and followed, the code orders the action of loading a corresponding mission to perform A route or another depending on the distance of the user to the different delivery points, the algorithm containing the code always selects the route corresponding to the delivery point that is closest to the user. The operation has been tested in a Software-in-the-loop obtaining satisfactory results. The software works as expected. In the field has also been tested, software level worked, but at the hardware level given a weather problem the dron suffered an incident without being able to obtain a satisfactory flight. As an example during the project has shown a practical application of the methodology created, ie: golf course search (legally find a club where the dron flight is legal), in this case has decided the golf course La Roca, design of the different routes of delivery and implementation in the code and consequent test in virtual simulator of software. It is concluded that since the necessary technology exists and that with this methodology it is possible for a golf course user to be able to request a product and receive it through a dron in an easy way, the feasibility study is confirmed, taking into account The legal, technological and user need.
