Abstract

Normal ground emergency vehicle takes long time to deliver medical supply or emergency help. it’s also had some problem to access the rural areas because no proper road. the aim of this project is to build and develop drone with perfect autonomous and navigation system and able to carry payload for medical supply delivery or emergency help in short period of time. By using the combination of Raspberry Pi and APM 2.8 Flight Controller it can perform the autonomous mission without need human to control it, this drone also is strengthened by other equipment like sturdy brushless motor to make sure the drone can take off with the payload, Global Positioning System (GPS) also being implement to determine the position of the drone. Other that, this drone also equips with Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to connect with the internet. this make the drone can be control anywhere by using the network connection. As the result, the drone is able to fly stable in manual mode and perform to lift payload when its fly. Global Positioning System working perfectly and gives the accurate coordinates to drone. Raspberry pi success to connect with APM 2.8 controller and able to send command for autonomous mission. Ground station can receive data and parameter from the drone using mavproxy communication. Based on the analy sis and testing this medical drone can lift payload up to 1.7 kg and total weight include the drone is about 2.8 kg, the flight time for full weight is about 9 minute and can go up to 3.7 km. This flight time and flight distance can be longer if the payload weight being reduced. For the conclusion, the drone build is success and able to perform autonomous mission by sending command to the Raspberry Pi. Able to carry payload is important factor to this medical drone because it will be use to deliver medical supply or used for emergency help. This drone also can be called as multipurpose drone because it can be used in various situation, it can be as delivery drone, Surveillance monitoring drone and also emergency help drone.
