Abstract

The intention of this paper is to present the process of selection for all electronic components required for the autonomous flight of a prototyped 3D medical drone. The overarching objective of this initiative is to identify components that satisfy the criteria of performance and cost-effectiveness, thereby providing a sustainable and economical solution for medical units to facilitate the transportation of consumables in remote regions.
