AeroMed

Background:

Our project revolves around an autonomous drone that will be used to deliver pharmaceuticals to the elderly, disabled, and those with busy schedules. To test our drone, we will deliver a one pound payload to a location predetermined by GPS.

Goal and Objectives:

We want to create a fully functioning, autonomous drone that can travel at least 50 meters and release the payload within 1 meter of the desired location.
