The work consists of a modular Cartesian robot designed to intercept and store drones. The robot is electrically powered by 3 electric motors controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. It has 2 video cameras. The first camera captures the x and z coordinates of the drone, while the second camera captures the position on the y-axis. These cameras transmit the position of the drone to the Arduino board, which controls the axes to make the drone land on the pallet. After landing, the drone is stored in a dedicated space together with the pallet, which will also facilitate its charging.
