Design Summary & Analysis Draft 3

    The article “How Flying Robots Might Prevent Deforestation” (Peck, 2012) mentioned the purpose, features and effectiveness of quadrotors, mainly focused on them being “sentinels of crucial environmental protection”. These “miniature flying robots” were programmed to inspect the surroundings of the rainforest independently, providing advanced feedback for unlicensed activities and largely diminishing the desire of those people who considered carrying out unlawful acts such as "cutting down trees and drug trafficking". According to Peck, Vijay Kumar, the developer of the Quadrotors, highlighted the robots’ ability to efficiently function together as a team without a need for any communication. Furthermore, quadrotors were equipped with “little rotor blades'' for easy gliding action, and the programmed commands on the “onboard processor” would call for immediate response to any difference in their surroundings. According to Peck, Mario Campos, a professor of compute...
