Drone delivery of medicines Kaga City demonstrative experiment Japan's first manned area flight using 3D map

On the 20th, Kaga City used a 3D map for the first time in Japan to conduct a demonstration experiment of a drone (small unmanned aerial vehicle) flying over manned areas such as houses and roads. It flew about 3 kilometers from the Komeya Pharmacy Abio City Kaga store in Sakumi-cho to Yamashiro Onsen City Cultural Hall in 14 minutes to deliver medicines. The city plans to develop a 3D map of the entire city by the end of this fiscal year and create an environment in which private companies can use it.
The city is currently creating a high-precision 3D map that is necessary for building an "air transportation network" for drones, and is expected to be used in various service fields such as product delivery. By using this map and an "AI (artificial intelligence) control platform," it will be possible to automatically determine a safe route and fly without the need for a human to visually control the aircraft.
In this experiment, due to the aviation law, it is not possible to fly over people and cars, so the staff accompanied us and operated it by checking the timing when the traffic of people and cars was interrupted. Cooperating with Komeya Pharmacy (Hakusan City), the drone delivered cold medicine. The whole experiment took about 30 minutes because the radio wave was weakened by the rain and the team had to return to the starting point.
Mayor Riku Miyamoto emphasized the success of the successful flight in the manned area, saying, "Utilizing the air infrastructure will create new business opportunities. Kaga City has taken the first step."
Considering introduction to pharmaceutical delivery Komeya Pharmacy
Komeya Pharmacy Vice President Takehito Nagaki says that it can be expected to save labor in delivery, and if the cost and technical issues can be overcome, it will be possible in the next fiscal year. He indicated that the system will be introduced for drug delivery between pharmacies and between wholesalers and pharmacies. “Someday, I want to be able to smoothly deliver medicine to hard-to-reach places,” he said.
