Human-Centered Drone Design for Medical Supply Delivery

Drone, due to their flexible applications to facilitate human life, is currently used at great demand. They perform tasks repetitively at reasonable cost and quality levels. The main objective of this work is to design and develop healthcare delivery drone. The delivery drone has the potential to have the same effect on traditional transportation infrastructure. Due to poor transportation infrastructure, or roads blocked by severe weather, disasters or traffic congestion, the delivery of small items like medicines, blood and vaccines or other healthcare items that is needed in locations with difficult access becomes critical in healthcare. To overcome this problem, autonomous drone is design for the rapid delivery of medicines at places required. The delivery drone with an ardupilot is built through both manual and autopilot mode which drives the drone to the position necessary. It can supply up to 2 kg of medicine with flight time of 7 min.
