We develop drones that will assist in healthcare. As there is a shortage of staff in almost all healthcare facilities, an autonomous dronewould really be an addition to these facilities. It will also make sure that the right kind ofcare can be provided to everyone. To do this, our drones have to meet certain requirements. The Blue Jay drones are interactive, helpful, autonomous, safe and are able to fly indoors. This year, Blue Jay will develop an evacuation drone. This Blue J drone will be able to help the aid worker to evacuate the buildi Interactive To be able to provide this care in agood and natural way, our drone is interactive. Not onlydoes it display its emotions throu a LED screen, but it can also react to the emotions of the person that it is caring for. In this way a more natural experience is achieved. Because of this, the residents inside the nursinghom will trust the drone which will then be able to guide them to safety. In addition, people can interact with it through natural hand gestures. This makes the communication with the drone even easier. First case Our first steps will be into the most urgent situation, namely the understaffed nursing homes in the night and weekends. Usually, there is only one aid worker present at these times.When there is also only one client that is in need, the present aid worker can still provide proper aid. But what if there is a calamity in which the whole building has to be evacuated? Then the one aid worker cannot provide the neededhelp. Take for instance the case ofa fire. Then it takes 10-15 minutes until the fire department arrives. In the meantime the aid worker is all alone. But not for long. Autonomous To be of real help, the drone needs to be autonomous. Otherwi the issue is not resolved. Our drone is therefore able to hover through the building by itself. Also the guidance of the residen to theexits will be completely autonomous. Future In the future, we see a Blue Jay drone present in every nursing building. By that time, its function will not only be theevacuati of residents, but it can also help in all kind of different ways. Delivering medicine for instance. Until then, we as a student te of the University of Eindhoven will work hard to accomplish all this! Blue Jay, your future drone assistant Mikrocentrum High Tech Platform Bedrijvengids 2021
