Two autonomous drones fly over a lake and forest, carrying white, glowing cryogenic containers.

Two autonomous drones fly over a lake and forest, carrying white, glowing cryogenic containers.

Our group proposes a modular medical delivery system composed of two autonomous drones, each capable of carrying a 10 lb, actively regulated cryogenic container. The container is insulated and features a microcontroller-driven system to maintain an interior temperature of 2–8 °C using both heating and cooling elements. While the entire 2,000+ km delivery is not practical with current drone technology or within the project budget, our solution focuses on enabling reliable, eco-friendly last-mile delivery over difficult terrain from a regional hub to Pikangikum Lake, ensuring vaccine integrity with minimal human involvement."
