IRJET- AUTONOMOUS UAV BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR HOSPITALS (original) (raw)

Advancement in technology has revolutionized medical field. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the next wave of technological advancements that have immense potential in the medicine field. The utilization of UAVs has been piloted in various medical fields due to their great flexibility and price efficiency. The aim of this paper is to develop the prototype of UAV which may be controlled manually and also in autonomous mode using GPS module and Radio telemetry especially for Hospitals and Healthcare purpose. The system contains Hexacopter drone, Integrated GPS module and Radio telemetry for long distance controlling and data transmission, remote for manual flight operation and Pick and drop function to deliver the payload. It also includes the PC software for drone and controller interface and smartphone application to the controller through Bluetooth. In autonomous mode UAV is controlled by employing GPS module, Radio telemetry and Mission planer software. The presented prototype of the UAV is capable of intelligent remote waypoint navigation. Through the Interfacing software user can give waypoints for the UAV to navigate. UAV coordinates with the flight pattern given by the user to perform the delivery task. The aim is to be ready to efficiently deliver blood samples, medicines, vaccines, Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and likewise during a short period of time compared to road transport, just in case of emergencies.
