        abstract = {The rapid evolution of unmanned aerial vehicle (VAV) technology has positioned multirotors as a transformative solution for urban logistics, particularly in the food delivery sector. This paper presents the design, integration, and performance analysis of a high-stability hexacopter system optimized for autonomous payload delivery. Utilizing an F450 frame modified for a six-rotor configuration, the system is governed by the Pixhawk Flight Controller, which manages complex stabilization algorithms and mission planning.
Precision navigation is achieved through the integration of an MN8 GPS Module, ensuring high-accuracy waypoint adherence, while a dedicated Telemetry Module provides real-time data link capabilities for ground station monitoring. The propulsion system comprises high-efficiency brushless motors regulated by Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), powered by a high-discharge Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) Battery. Centralized power management is facilitated by a Power Distribution Board (PDB) to ensure electrical stability across all subsystems.
Experimental results demonstrate that the hexacopter configuration offers superior redundancy and lifting capacity compared to traditional quadcopters, maintaining flight stability even in the event of partial motor failure. The study concludes with an evaluation of flight endurance, payload-to-weight ratios, and the efficacy of autonomous delivery missions in simulated urban environments.},
