delivery by drone service in march. but then came the coronavirus pandemic now monitors flying its drones to a small town called money gall instead for delivering critical food supplies pharmacy products happens at the trial and a cooling jury in the condo. the advantage of drones that they can deliver goods to lock down areas without individual people having to come into contact. 70 year old fidel like lease an order of bread and milk her medication is also being delivered directly toward doorstep it's absolutely fantastic and it's. because i've never seen a good day. and i wouldn't have my care and. just. a single drone can make up to $100.00 deliveries per day manas founder bobby healy says that if the government wants the start of could be delivering to $600.00 smaller towns across ireland by the end of the year. what's more

he says monitoring the autonomy of drones could be a job for airline pilots currently out of work because of the chronic crisis. in supper it's municipal workers who are operating drones the beach town began using drones for ocean rescues to monitor forest and brush fires. now drones are also supplying elderly people in remote areas with medications disinfectant and face masks the nearest pharmacy is about 2 hours away on foot. nobody going out at this residence says it's necessary for them to come to us where we live is remote but the distance doesn't count only the goodwill of the people. these examples show how creative individuals worldwide are using the technology to help overcome covert 1900 channel and has. several african countries not qualified to. experts to help overcome this allowing us have found it

the african. or young africans can learn to build and operate drones. deborah getting a flying lesson. she's one of the 1st students at africa's 1st drawn academy. deborah plans to use what she's learned during the program to help her native country malawi. there's so many things that. for me we had to do we had the designing of the drones depending on the payload like. a lot of trees and it's hard to reach a. being able to fly drones accurately as important and hard to reach areas so from time meters to 5 meters over this 10 meter range.
11:20 am
the curriculum demands a lot from the 26 students currently enrolled around half are female most and all are from africa this was one of unicef's conditions for financially supporting the academy. africa many times has been far behind in technology and we think drones are the future we want them to start their own businesses join current businesses is really building up the john industry and being more than just pilots to this and her fellow students learn to construct and pilot drawings integrate them into supply chain systems and analyze drawing data. i really feel great in the face being. basically as a woman and as you presenting. this long as not far from the academy. deborah comes from humble background herself if the drone program weren't free of charge she wouldn't be able to afford it. we are finding these drones use

a form. of the disease outbreaks at some point and it was a good. challenge. season by season different of them. also because of these different seasonal agricultural challenges malawi hopes drones can help protect small farmers like david george. the country is spearheaded using drones and data in 2017 it opened the world's 1st drone testing corridor. here companies like martin carroll's employer can test their drone solutions. martinus testing how to supply remote villages with medicines and surveying the region to identify areas at risk from flooding. it's a hard situation because you know it's a lot of families have a lot of history in the areas that they've grown up and i don't want to move at all is to be able to provide the evidence showing that you know this is prone to
11:22 am
flooding and this is where it could happen whereas if we moved to this area could be less less prone to flooding there was so far drawn companies like can't find enough qualified personnel in africa the academy is supposed to change that you see that today is a special day for deborah her presentation on digital maps is part of her final exam if everything works out she'll soon be a qualified drone pilot and technician. deborah wants to specialize in land surveying in order to help alleviate hunger and starvation in malawi she knows what it means to be poor and her own family never had much. her uncle currently lives in a slum. he's proud of his niece and she visits him often. i didn't the number of students in malawi interest the group study is she is the future and the she's the 1st type of the group that has shown interest the drawn to

go so i can see a future form allowed for. the drone industry looks set to grow rapidly and deborah hopes to be a part of it she wants to found her own company that works with drones focused on helping those in need of malawi and beyond. for more than 10 years. has been working on a call to. help save people buried in rubble earthquakes often cost many human lives. in the summer of 2016 these images from central italy shocked the world. the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 varied hundreds of people and destroyed entire villages. knows the pictures all too well he grew up in
11:24 am
a region often affected by earthquakes. these events are actually shocking fortunately i was never actually affected personally it was not in the in the middle of it disaster. of course these things that you personally and i always wanted to be able to actually help other people that might make knowledge of . the scientists dream is to develop a truly autonomy micro drone to be used in search and rescue scenarios. and yet the professor for robotics and his team have been working on this project for more than 10 years. old so the idea that we should be something there when you've got that disaster. firefighters sort of soup of action i drive today plays all these aster and it all finally finds its way through the building. find its way you know the space within that building you can also mock the environment

localize where the victims are lying and then find its way out from the building. the design is already largely completed the small drone has been equipped with cameras that it uses to scan the surroundings and onboard computer and then analyzes the captured images and extracts prominent reference points to create a detailed 3 d. map. this allows it to locate potential survivors of course the drone also needs to reach them and that presented a problem. earthquakes can reduce everything to rubble in order to reach people trapped within a drone would have to be able to get through narrow passages and type tunnels. the solution a drone that can adapt to its surroundings by folding and reshaping itself. 4 independently rotating propellers are attached to mobile arms thanks to servo
11:26 am
motors these can swivel around the main body allowing the drone to fold into an ocean to pass through holes. to inspect an object from up close and they can turn into a teaching and. and it can reposition its arms to fit through narrow passages. and. the drone flies autonomy sleep using a special software that registers points on structures and follows them all flying . this enables the drone to constantly calculate its own exact location and speed. a training ground close to. this is where we dog the swiss society for rescue dogs trains for emergency situations. when looking for buried person after an earthquake nothing beats a dog's nose but there are limits if

a building is at risk of collapsing the mission is too dangerous for humans and animals. readahead things these are situations where a drone could be useful. although the drone is foldable which is great because it can enter a building through tiny openings and that's really important as pathways can be very small. autonomy's flying is another great feature as cable is communications and connections often get interrupted in the rubble. we don't use his telescope cameras to look inside buildings. but these can only extend some 5 meters after that there's no way forward. i think drones would be great as one of several tools for instance if i use the camera and realize that there's a large hollow space in that i can't go further but i need to in the drone is
11:28 am
a great addition. another helpful feature would be a microphone with intercom peters that way i could communicate with somebody very far away inside a building that would also be really important. thank. you scott i'm wood so takes these needs to heart at the moment however he's primarily working on battery life and the drone speed. thereby that i follow it only strictly between 20 and 30 minutes that means if you want to be able to fly fast fast but you know. there are many obstacles that come for example you need to be able to see faster and to make recently think faster so at the moment of working on these 2 big problems. the robotics professor will continue researching and in a couple of years his dream of the perfect rescue drone may well be a reality. in

good shape take some life and wait for us in forests and fields and they're dangerous. and there are more than 900 different species of some of them. and others are transmitted diseases optimised kingdoms to other most dangerous and extra for diseases everything you ever wanted to know about teams. next. on t.w. . it's manuever here on the racetrack or so for sure came a. perfect place to test those high powered vehicle. flashes but is it somehow a bit behind the times electra mobility in sports cars
