Design of Autonomous Battery Swapping for UAVs

This paper dives into the design of the complete autonomous system for replacing lithium-polymer batteries of small-scale UAVs improving extended flight times and preventing battery damages for aerial safety. The Robotic Ground System’s (RGS) development consisting of three sub-systems, focuses on a quick-charge power station to provide extensive flight time and eliminate long charging disturbances during ongoing missions. Accompanied by solar panels, its power comes from the sun’s renewable energy, providing power to the entire system.
