Aspect of the present invention, the seeds dropping multi-copter carry a total payload of 5KG and it is used for required altitude (Maximum Altitude-4500m). The main objective of this invention is overcome the deficiencies of seeds dropping method and to reduce the effects to humans. Furthermore, we evaluate an algorithm to adjust the UAV route changes in the row and column and the impact related to the number of massages exchanged between the UAV and the WSN. The information retrieved by the WSN allows the UAV to confine dropping of seeds strictly designated areas. Since there are sudden and frequent changes in environmental conditions the control loop must be able to react as quickly possible.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are employed to implement a control loop for agricultural applications where UAVs are responsible for sowing the seeds in the farm. The process of applying the seeds is controlled by means of the feedback from the wireless sensors network deployed at ground level on the field. The aim of this seed is to deep in farm support short delays in the control loop so that the UAV can process the information from the sensors. Furthermore, we evaluate an algorithm to adjust the UAV route under changes in the row and column and the impact related to the number of messages exchanged between the UAV and the WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). The information retrieved by the WSN allows the UAV to confine sowing of seeds to strictly designated areas. Since there are sudden and frequent changes in environmental conditions the control loop must be able to react as quickly as possible.

A multi-copter is controlled manually with a hand-held radio control transmitter which manually controls the propellers. Sticks on the controller allow movements in different directions and trim buttons allow the trim to be adjusted to balance the drone screens can also be used to receive live video footage from the on-board camera and to display sensor data.

Multi-copter can also be flown autonomously, modern flight controllers can use software to mark GPS waypoints that the vehicle will fly to and land or move to a set altitude. The power source preferably comprises of battery and the like. The computer instructions are received from the controller which is activated manually. The imaging unit comprises of a multispectral camera and the like.

Frame – (850*590*300mm) the skeleton of the drone which all components are fixed to. The chassis design is a trade-off between strength and additional weight, which will require longer propellers and stronger motors to lift.

Propellers (17*5 inch) – principally effect load the quadcopter can carry, the speed it can fly and the speed it can maneuver. The length can be modified; longer propellers can achieve greater lift at a lower rpm but take longer to speed up/slow down. Shorter propellers can change speed quicker and thus are more maneuverable, however they require a higher rotational speed to achieve the same power as longer blades. This causes excess motor strain and thus reduces motor life span. A more aggressive pitch will allow quicker movement but reduced hovering efficiency.

Motors (T motor 400KV) – one per propeller, drone motors are rated in “Kv” units which equates to the number of revolutions per minute it can achieve when a voltage of 1 volt is supplied to the motor with no load. A faster motor spin will give more flight power, but requires more power from the battery resulting in a decreased flight time. Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) – provides a controlled current to each motor to produce the correct spin speed and direction. Flight Controller – the onboard computer which interprets incoming signals sent from the pilot and sends corresponding inputs to the ESC to control the motor.

Radio Receiver- Receives the control signals from the pilot. Battery – Generally lithium polymer batteries are used due to high power density and ability to recharge.
On board flight control – receives the control signals from the GCS. Battery – generally lithium polymer batteries are used due to high power density and ability to recharge.

The 4 propellers of a quadcopter are fixed and vertically orientated. Each propeller has a variable and independent speed which allows a full range of movements.
Here it is put into suitable seed in present placing box, allows multi-rotor to take off, manually starts motor and stable turn. It dynamic, drives the pulley constantly to rotate the first shaft, rotates the second belt pulley constantly by connecting belt, make second shaft constantly rotates, and seed gets lodged in placement lower box part, and rotation of the second shaft drives disk to turn . It is dynamic to fall seed. Further including having balance weight and support rod, multi-copter left part is equipped with support rod, and support rod lower part is equipped with balance. Because further including sliding is equipped with on bar, and disk both sides are symmetrically arranged with connecting rod, and connecting rod one end equipped with iron ball, the connecting rod and sliding sleeve be equipped with second spring, the second shaft rotation rotates the slide bar, make disk rotational, make connecting rod and iron ball rotation, due to inertia force, iron ball is to both sides, pulls connecting rod to move down sliding spring, Seed is set to sow out.

Invention achieves be able to carry out on multi-rotor seeds dropping, it is easy to use, sow rabid effect, carry out sowing seed work for the crops of large area, and work at high efficiency, easy to use, and control the speed for sowing seed, multifunctional.
