Introduction
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Bamboo can be used in numerous forms (as hollow or solid sticks, strips of varied width and thickness, with weaving and without weaving) to make the structure and to serve various other purposes as required; being highly resistant to climatic conditions, more resistant to stain and scratch, more durable and long lasting material, it can be used further to explore the utility in this field. As the use of natural materials is an important trend right now and people are becoming more ecologically conscious, the products that are more ecologically friendly are increasing green purchase behaviour. With these rises, bamboo drones can play a vital role in bringing technology and bamboo together.

The idea of making a bamboo drone/ quadcopter is to explore bamboo in the field of the Drone Industry. Bamboo being a strong fibrous material is light in weight, easily available renewable resource, inexpensive and commonly used as a craft material. The aim of the designed structure is to keep the weight as light as possible and include craft techniques and aesthetics. Bamboo covers will allow the user to reuse the electronic parts, and make their own drone shell, maintaining, disposing of, repairing and replacing parts will be easier. The objective of this project is to explore bamboo as an alternative resource for constructing the structure of a drone, in this case, a quadcopter.
