Drones for Delivering Humanity

We are working to drastically decrease the spread of the novel coronavirus in the current delivery system. The cities around the world that have close proximity are seeing another rise on cases, and the hotspots seem to be as close as ever. In tight knit communities, as well as those that are cramped due to civil unrest are especially vulnerable to the spread of this virus. Our aim is to keep everyone home and safe, with a sensible delivery medical aid and food system that prevents close human interaction and contagiousness. Our drones not only deliver aid and food when needed, but drives humanity into the lives of refugees, asylum seekers, civilians, and developing countries. 

New York has had 389,910 cases due to it being one of the most populous cities in the U.S and has a dense amount of area (27,000 sq ft). Other major populated states such as California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Jersey have an average of 61,646.6 cases. The most common ways of getting it through physical contact is by the following:

 Droplets. When a person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets with the virus fly into the air from their nose or mouth. Anyone who is within 6 feet of that person can breathe those droplets into their lungs.

Aerosolized transmission. Research proves that the Covid_19 can live in the air for up to 3 hours. When you breathe air that has the virus floating in it, it can get into lungs

Surface transmission. Another way to catch the coronavirus is when you touch surfaces that someone who has the has coughed or sneezed on. Touching a countertop or doorknob that's contaminated with the virus and then touching your nose, mouth, or eyes is one of the fastest ways to get it. Covid_19 can live on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for 2 to 3 days. 

Our solution to solving human delivery is drones. Each hospital will have about 35 drones. These drones will send medical supplies when needed to the person's address. These drones will be made of simple and sustainable silicon materials that will hold the mass of aid being transported by air traffic. Features that the drone will have are listed:

• Openable hatch

• GNSS navigation

• LIVE camera

• Auto-takeoff/landing

• Solar panels

• Cargo

• Preoperative evaluation

• Internal sterilization for hatch

• Supplies Testing Kits

• Geofencing plane interaction

The target populations are refugees and nurses/ doctors. We are meaningfully trying to change their lives by giving them the materials they need without any harmful contact that may get them infected with COVID-19. We are going to understand their needs by understanding how dangerous their job is and how it may and potentially could kill them or even worse if it gets infected to other team members, it could kill many. Our drones will engage them in this situation because they probably know the risk of catching COVID-19 and they want to be safe. Our drones slowly develop the solution to add more tools to see if they need it/not. This addresses their needs because most of this is about not catching  COVID-19 and they want to be safe so the drone will have an interior and exterior sterilization system. Many camps will have these drones and the camps that don’t have supplies, the drones in the camps will fly to unsupplied camps and send them the equipment. It will have solar panels, a live 360 view camera, a GPS system, a microphone to communicate, a hatch for aid, and sustainable silicone material to for all weather.

The problem is the amount of contact of people and the easy spread of coronavirus amongst large groups of people. As of 2020, there are over 26.7 million refugees and in crowded camps, there probably over millions of cases they have due to their overwhelmingly dense population. Another issue is the lack of resources and how to give them. The solution is to give the doctors and nurses the needed medical supplies. The solutions target is refugees and the first aid support team. This is related to the challenge “Health Security and Pandemics” by giving aid to the Responders.
