Main applications of drones in epidemic prevention
During the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention period, drones appeared in buildings, villages, city streets, and highway junctions, and their videos frequently appeared on the hot search list. UAVs are the weapon of prevention and control, condensing their own scientific and technological strength, and have played an important role in various aspects such as non-contact temperature measurement, shouting, killing operations, logistics and distribution, traffic control, and disaster relief, etc., in the second battlefield outside the hospital Effectively fight the "epidemic".
Remote temperature measurement, transform into a little helper
With the unit returning to work, the epidemic prevention and control has entered a critical period, and the use of drones for non-contact, mobile temperature measurement has enabled rapid deployment of primary temperature screening in public places, effectively reducing the pressure and risk of front-line staff.
Hardcore shouting, preach the vanguard
Drones are used instead of manually entering communities and public places for prevention and control propaganda work.
At present, there are two main tasks for shouting. One is to play the recorded contents of the epidemic prevention and control prompts in a loop, and the other is to make a real-time shout on the gathering behavior of the people shown by the thermal imaging principle to guide the evacuation of the crowd in time.
Spray disinfection to kill the little guard
With the gradual resumption of work and production in various industries, the demand for killing in various scenarios has increased, and more and more drone companies are stepping up their efforts to fight the epidemic. The spraying disinfection drone mainly implements the spraying of pharmaceuticals through ground remote control or GPS flight control. It can complete the killing task of 7000 square meters in 5 minutes. The efficiency is more than 50 times that of manual spraying. It has high efficiency, continuous, isolation, and human medicine. The characteristics of separation, and can be sprayed in a multi-machine formation to solve the problems of shortage of equipment and insufficient manpower in rural and urban communities.
The first patent application in the field of spray-killing drone technology was filed by the Italian company Nebbia Ugo in 1976. The number of patent applications in this field increased rapidly from 1994 to 2011. The main applicants were Japanese companies Yamaha, Yanmar Agricultural Machinery and New Delta Agricultural Machinery. Among them, Yamaha successively introduced spraying models such as R-50 and RMAX to kill nobody machine.
Logistics and delivery
The epidemic was characterized by human-to-human transmission and a long incubation period, which caused a certain impact on the transportation industry. The use of drones for sample transportation and material distribution can minimize crowds and avoid human contact and secondary transmission. Xun Ant Company built a "urban air transport channel" through drones and unmanned stations to achieve contactless medical material distribution from the hospital to the disease control center. In addition, drones also facilitate the transportation of agricultural and sideline products and daily necessities. For example, the JD team drove the “last mile” of logistics and delivered the products ordered online to users in a timely manner.
The use of drones for logistics and distribution has been popular earlier in the world, and patents are widely distributed.
Escort and serve as a small aerial inspector
Efficiently carry out traffic dredging and epidemic prevention work. Thanks to the endurance technology and visual navigation and positioning technology of the drone platform, the on-site traffic conditions can be transmitted back to the traffic police enforcement station and the provincial traffic management command center continuously throughout the day. Full control of global information and vehicle details. Visual navigation and positioning technologies mainly cover areas such as visual obstacle avoidance / collision prevention, autonomous landing, flight attitude / height adjustment, target recognition and tracking, and navigation.
UAVs are playing an important role in epidemic prevention and control, and they cannot do without the support of the new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology. In the future, it is believed that with the continuous reduction of drone development and production costs, the gradual implementation of national policies and the maturity of market development, China's drone industry will become a powerful force for the construction of smart cities.
