Designing Drones for COVID-19 Relief
When COVID-19 ground everything to a halt, the
Ryerson Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (RUAV) Team knew
they had the opportunity and know-how to help with the
relief efforts. The team began developing a long-range
drone that can transport vital COVID-19 supplies, test
kits and medical necessities to remote, underserved
communities in Canada.
“We have the knowledge and skillset to build these
different vehicles at an industry standard,” says RUAV
captain and electrical engineering alumnus, Alex Coutu
(’20). “We really believe that we can help those who lack
access to necessary goods in the best possible manner.”
The team has been refining the design over the past year,
but in the wake of the pandemic, they realized how the
drone could help in humanitarian efforts. “Given our
position, and what we’re able to do, it’s really important
