Foldable portable emergency rescue drone

What it does

The dual-R emergency modular rescue intelligent unmanned aircraft adopts the method of module recombination, and can be equipped with modules for life detection, positioning, rescue and life guidance functions.

Your inspiration

Worldwide, there are 63 accidents every three months, with an average of two accidents occurring every three days. This clearly indicates that sudden accidents occur frequently. Accidents caused by natural disasters at sea and elsewhere need to consider the convenience of rescue operations. In terms of creativity, I attempted to use modular design and ropes as the creative points for this design. The modular design can save space and enable faster arrival at the scene. The ropes can be used to distribute supplies and perform other functions.

How it works

Install the necessary supplies and rescue equipment for rapid and remote transportation. The life signal detection instruments can locate the positions of survivors. The product has multiple hanging hooks, which can transport most supplies. Accurately deploy the supplies or rescue equipment. You can pause the rotation of a nylon rope belt at one point, making it descend. This not only reduces the descent risk for those stranded at sea but also enables the transportation of supplies by bundling. The rescue drone has located the buried victims in the disaster area. The intelligent drone automatically uses language to comfort the survivors: We are the rescue team. We have found you. Please hold on and wait for our rescue! The disaster area is remote? First, use the drone to transport supplies to ensure the emotional stability of the survivors!

Design process

Every three months globally, there are 63 accidents, with an average of two per day. This clearly indicates that accidents occur frequently. As many of these accidents involve maritime rescue, material transportation, and air assistance, during these rescue operations, considering timeliness, convenience, and efficient use of space, at the initial stage of design conception, attempts were made to use modules to handle the storage issue. In terms of material distribution, attempts were made to install ropes on the drones for distribution and reconnaissance. During the design process, the material of the ropes and the method of deployment became major pain points. First, a bold attempt was made to use the ropes as propellers. Small propellers were installed around the drone to maintain the balance of the aircraft. The final result was satisfactory.

How it is different

"Core function: Precise vertical delivery + rope retrieval. Most are air-drop releases (directly dropped), applicable scenarios: Complex terrain (cliffs, floods, tall buildings, gaps in ruins). Open areas or simple terrain. The mainstream rescue drones on the market rarely focus on this function. The solutions provided by manufacturers like DJI are mostly ""drop-type"", which is more suitable for open areas. While the rope systems designed by users are more like ""vertical logistics"", they can solve special scenarios such as canyons and tall buildings. This difference point is very valuable, but the implementation difficulty is also higher. Through the rope precise delivery system, not only does it improve the delivery rate of supplies, but it also redefines the boundary of ""human-machine collaborative rescue""

Future plans

The future foldable portable emergency rescue drone will be a highly intelligent, multi-functional, highly robust, extremely user-friendly and deeply integrated aerial intelligent node into the emergency system. Its development is a systematic project that requires the deep integration of materials science, mechanical design, artificial intelligence, communication technology, energy technology, sensor technology and emergency rescue expertise. I particularly hope to see the breakthrough achieved being: In the disaster-stricken areas where power and internet are cut off
