It’s that time of year again… After the cancellation of the Unmanned Systems Canada 2020 competition due to COVID-19, the official announcement for Unmanned Systems Canada 2021 has been made. That means things are coming back on track, just in time for the new school year!
Scenario:
“Rapid response times, and the ability to travel routes and distances that are not conveniently accessed by conventional methods, make Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) a promising medical delivery method. Applications of UAS for medical delivery include shuttling biological samples between facilities, delivering medication to the homes and hospital rooms of patients, and reaching individuals in need of life-saving medical attention sooner than by ambulance. The possibilities UAS provide to the future of the health care industry have the potential to save time, resources and lives!”
Ryerson UAV participated in the 12th annual Unmanned Systems Canada UAS Student Competition in Southport, Manitoba from April 30th to May 2nd.
The 2019 USC competition scenario is all about drone delivery. UAVs and UGVs are used to autonomously deliver medical goods across short and long distances for healthcare facilities. Phase 1 of the competition consists of a design report, while Phase 2 is the operational flying demonstration conducted in Southport, Manitoba.
A total of 16 teams from across Canada participated in phase 1 of the competition. Unfortunately, the second phase of the competition was postponed to May of 2021 due to COVID-19.
