Air Ambulance
Studio Tvarůžek
In emergency situations where every second counts, a rescue drone can reach the scene faster than an ambulance, overcoming traffic congestion and difficult terrain. The primary goal of the design was to create an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly drone for delivering medical supplies, particularly an automated external defibrillator (AED).
The drone features a compact structure made of carbon plates connected to four arms, each equipped with dual rotors stacked vertically. This configuration reduces the drone’s overall size while maintaining high performance. The orange-red casing not only protects technical components but also visually identifies the drone as a rescue device. Its smooth surface eliminates distracting technical details, lowering the psychological barrier for users interacting with the drone.
Safety is ensured by a protective honeycomb rotor cover, preventing accidental contact with spinning blades. This cover also reduces the visual impact of the rotors, helping to alleviate user apprehension. It is designed to allow adequate airflow while forming a strong barrier against external objects.
The drone's navigation system includes eight optical sensors around the frame to prevent collisions. Additional paired sensors at the front and rear enable precise maneuvering in urban environments. Maintenance access is provided via a removable casing with an integrated groove, which, together with the sensors, creates a face-like motif. This design utilizes pareidolia to give the drone a friendly and reassuring appearance—an essential factor in high-stress situations.
The overall design balances functionality, safety, and psychological interaction, making the drone accessible to users who may be under stress and lack technical expertise.
