ABSTRACT The LIDAR Micro Drone is an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with advanced sensors for proximity sensing and environmental data collection. In LIDAR, objects in the scene reflect infrared rays that are sent out by a transmitter. The time of flight (TOF) is used to construct a distance map of the scene's objects when the system receiver picks up the reflected light. Obstacles are seen in its area of view .
INTRODUCTION Introducing the LIDAR Micro Drone for Proximity Sensing, a cutting-edge aerial technology that combines a host of sensors to deliver precise and real-time environmental data. This micro drone is equipped with a VL53L0X sensor, a ESP32 Cam controller. The star of the show, the VL53L0X sensor, is a state-of-the-art LIDAR sensor that excels in proximity sensing. Its laser-based technology allows for highly accurate distance measurements, ensuring obstacle detection during the drone's flight, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. If an obstacle is discovered, the controller decodes the LIDAR signal and turns on a siren and light to alert the user to the obstacle's proximity.
PROBLEM STATEMENT The expense of drones is the main problem with them. Drones are still a relatively uncommon item because they are often expensive to purchase and pose a significant danger of damage while in flight. LIDAR Micro Drone offers a versatile and powerful solution for proximity sensing and data collection , bridging the gap between advanced technology and user-friendly mobile interfaces.

METHODOLOGY The proposed methodology for a LIDAR micro drone equipped with a VL53L0X sensor. The LIDAR sensor (VL53L0X need to be appropriately integrated into the drone's design, ensuring they are securely attached and connected to a microcontroller, such as a ESP32 Cam. The experiment began with pre-flight checks, including sensor calibration and system checks, to ensure the drone and LIDAR sensor were functioning correctly. Next, the obstacle course was set up, consisting of cones, boxes, or small trees, and the drone was configured to use the obstacle avoidance algorithm being tested. The LIDAR sensor was then configured to transmit distance measurements to the flight control system. The ESP32 Cam will collect data from all the sensors and compile it into a single dataset. It will then establish a connection with a mobile application The mobile application will be designed to receive and display the data from the drone's sensors in a user friendly and intuitive interface.
