Abdullah Al Mamun Khan Dip, a student of Khulna University of Engineering Technology (Kuet) has developed a remote controlled drone helicopter to use in disaster management.
The newly invented drone copter is controlled from the ground. It is also known as a quad copter because it has four propellers, said Mamun, a student of Kuets Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department.
The copter can be used for rescue operations in high-rise buildings or fire hazard spots which cannot be reached by people easily, said Abdullah Al Mamun.
He said that with the help of a camera the copter can also reach inaccessible places and relay live video from there.
Supervised by Prof Dr Md Shahjahan of the department, the copter was developed by Mamun as his 4th year thesis project. It took him a year to make.
The copter runs on battery and can land and take off vertically. Using a remote control, it can be controlled from up to 2km away.
With a proper sensor it can be used to detect the presence of harmful gas, and even help in determining radiation levels at a nuclear reactor, if required.
Mamun sought the governments help to make electronic components such as high-speed electronic motors, sensors and gyro-scopes and lithium polymer batteries tax free so scientific discoveries are encouraged in Bangladesh.
Kuet students have also developed line followers, maze solvers, obstacle avoiders, garbage cleaners and a voice control robot.
