Abstract

Due to road accidents, it is difficult to supply injured people with first aid, especially in difficult-access regions. Also, uneven roads or far places pose a problem for ambulances and doctors to reach and save injured people’s lives. The paper aims to design, model, and control a drone able to fly at different heights and support patients with essential needs after accidents. The drone also contains sensors to measure blood sugar and pressure in cases of diabetic coma that require urgent intervention. The drone design was tested using SolidWorks and FLUENT to ensure safe design in different flying conditions. The stress analysis guaranteed the load bearing due to the weight of the drone and equipment. Moreover, the computation fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to study the aerodynamics affecting the drone flying conditions. The nonlinear control method was used to guarantee flying through smooth and accurate paths. Computed Torque Control (CTC) is used for reducing nonlinearity and following the trajectory. The simulation is done using MATLAB /Simulink with high accuracy. The errors were less than 0.05 rad and less than 0.04 rad./sec and finally less than 0.25 rad /sec2 for the position, velocity and acceleration, respectively. The system saves people’s lives by reducing the time and power required to support the injured with first aid.
