Week 1

Summary

• Formed the Group

• We created a group of 5 engineers in various fields.
• Deepak Rajan was chosen as the group leader
• Assigned different roles for group members

• Choosing Project Idea

• We wanted to do a project involving drone aircraft since it is a revolutionary up and coming technology.
• Since we are all from India, the professor guided us to thinking about creating something that will help developing countries.
• This inspired the idea of a Coconut Harvesting Drone.

After much brainstorming, we finalized the Coconut Harvesting Drone as the project idea. The main reasons are listed below:

• Original idea to the best of our knowledge
• There is a need for this drone as trained workers have become old and are no longer working, and there are only a few younger workers
• Immensely decreases the dangers surrounding coconut harvesting
• Makes the coconut harvesting process much more efficient, increasing profits for farmers and coconut retailers.
