Solar Powered Fully Autonomous Wireless Charging for Drones
Solar Powered Fully Autonomous Wireless Charging for Drones
We are using a Pixhawk as flight controller, IR precision lock for autonomous landing and raspberry pi for autonomous flight. We are using Qi wireless chargers for wireless charging.
If you like this video, you might find my senior thesis interesting. It is on my linkedin.

I want to do this in my dissertation, could you help me ? I have sent you a request on linkedin as well.
Hi guys, this is impressive. Nice idea, suits perfectly into a project in view (few modifications to be added though), are you open for a partnership?
I had this idea pop up in my head and wondered if someome else had already done it. Now that I know someone has, I need to one-up this concept or expand on it!
Awesome.. Any training available.. I want to build for myself
Great job guys. There are no links in the description though :/
I would like to buy one can you call me
Good
Doing something similar for a project; how long does it take for the drone to charge?
please help me with this one, how can you cut the supply to the motors when it lands and put the supply again when the charging is complete? thank you
can you make a video showing how to build and program the whole thing am sure a lot of people would like to see that including me
hello guys, excellent work they are doing, but my question is: how do you finish the charging cycle once the battery has been fully charged?
5 stars I’ve been working on a vary similar for a year now only difference is I have 2 power sources as we dont have sun all day and I added lidar with camera to really lock in landing and help stability I was thinking of having an offline but yet autonomous drone to prevent hacking theres a way it’s a slow process and I’m alone keep up the good work you guys nailed it
Thats pretty cool, whats that circuit you have between the solar array and the charger? And for the DC converter how much energy did you lose? is that uno connected to the charger ? too many question I know haha but its just pretty interesting!
can please send me the details how wireless charging made by you like how you connected coils to battery and all those things because we are making a drone contains wireless charging . we failed nearly 22 times
funnel idea is fantastic
Great concept. Futuristic technology for the aviation industry.
