Autonomous docking and charging system for Multicopter and 3D mapping using autonomous quadcopter

Project Abstract / Summary : we are designing a docking system that can be used with any arbitary multirotor uav/manned aerial system that automatically detects low battery and autonomously navigates to and lands on a charging dock and charges battery.
We are also using an autonomous quadcopter for 3D mapping of environment and buildings. these 3d models can be exported to any software and are used for volumetric/area analysis(for stockpile calculations), simulations (like recreating accidents), creating concept art/architecture using real locations, etc.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : UAVs are an upcoming field with unlimited possibilities. we wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of such aerial platform and their usefulness to society. We also wanted to improve the existing ecosystem by adding small amount of extra security and convenience by the autonomous battery charging.
