Abstract

"Smart cities" is a popular concept in modern urban development that demands innovative solutions to enhance various aspects of our lives. This paper introduces a novel application that aims to improve public road maintenance by utilizing a flying robot to repaint partially erased sections of the sidewalks' edges that are typically marked with black and white colors. The first contribution of this paper is the development of a fuzzy-logic-based stabilization system for an octocopter, which can serve as a liquids transporter and be equipped with a robot arm. The second contribution is the design of an embedded energy harvester for the flying robot, which optimizes the management of available power sources. Additionally, this project includes a complementary heuristic study that clarifies fundamental concepts related to a computer vision-based decision-making system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
