Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been gaining a lot of impetus in the recent times. Drones are constantly being made available for a myriad of day-to-day applications like food delivery, surveillance, farming, etc. One of the most overshadowed regions in the list of applications remains to mine. Mining is a dangerous activity and more often than not, there are certain unknown hazards to it that are too dangerous for humans to be experimenting with all by themselves. Hence it makes sense to use a UAV in the form of a First-Person View (FPV) drone. For the development of a UAV, there are thousands of different permutations that can be used. After a detailed analysis of various of them ranging from a simple tri-copter to an octocopter, a quadcopter design was unanimously selected as it provides elegant support in the form of control, structure, reliability, cost, size, etc. Most important of them being size and structure. Mines can be constricting places and a wide frame may become very difficult to control inside such enclosures. This project has been implemented on a much smaller scale than an actual prototype, primarily because of an ambitious development schedule coupled with a very limited budget. These constraints have forced a compromise on the quality of the components used but have not tampered with the real application objectives that the drone has to suffice. The drone at present is being controlled by a remote-control transmitter, receiver couple but we are working on creating our own GUI which will provide a direct control over all the systems from a remote laptop or android device.
