Control of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles to Transport a Medical Supplies

Abstract

Public health surveillance must guarantee the safety of people by limiting human mobility, in cases of isolation, through product deliveries, making it necessary to use drones to guarantee safety because they play a crucial role in several sectors. The literature review highlights the benefits of automation in-home delivery using drones, focusing on time efficiency and competitiveness in various sectors, and provides crucial design parameters to ensure its implementation in urban areas using different control techniques. A contribution was proposed to a solution that aims to realize the honeycomb design, which drones create during flight, controlled by a flight and delivery algorithm in a simulation environment applying an iterative methodology and continuous transport tests. medical burden. The results indicate a qualitative advance in the successful creation of simulated terrain, although the lack of numerical data on takeoffs and landings suggests the need for additional quantitative measurements. The current results support the efficiency of drones in route planning, precise management of medical cargo, and reduction of delivery time is numerical evidence that reinforces the robustness of the solution. In conclusion, this study developed a functional prototype to control drones with a flight planning algorithm and a swarm formation system for the transport of medical supplies in urban environments, although the need for future research to implement artificial intelligence technologies is noted. that improve transportation efficiency.
