(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Siddharth Srivastava; Akanksha Garg; Richa Verma; T.V. Prabhakar
Samiksha is cost-effective, easy to use field monitoring system. It is developed for poor Indian farmers. It takes advantage of gondola based balloon system in order to do the survey. It is equipped with small cannon which fires plastic dots on animals who are trying to enter the field. It enables the user to monitor area under consideration using a camera attached to it. The system can be controlled remotely using simple smart-phone in one out of three modes namely manual, semi-automatic and extended-automatic. Development cost is less than $25, which is further going to be reduced by fifty percent in next version of the project when we will go for mass production. In this paper we will focus on Samiksha-1 which is first prototype. We will compare its performance with existing cheapest drone present in India with respect to cost and service time. © 2018 IEEE.
