Research projects: BioDrones (Epitrack, LIKA, CAPES)
This website aims to report on the activities developed by the BIODRONES and HEALTHDRONES projects.
BioDrones (Epitrack, LIKA, CAPES). This project was certified by Epitrack in 25/07/2016;
HEALTHDRONES – Evaluating drones as a software platform for development of applications for monitoring epidemiological and crowd phenomena (INES/ISI-TICs/CNPq 573964/2008-4).
research problem: Is it possible to indentify and map disease vectors breeding places through smart autonomous agents? And besides the mapping and indentification, is it possible to identify if the vectors are infected or have a higher probability of infect the environment where they are? Can all this be done in real time?[...]

An important aspect in the control and determination of Schistosomiasis risk areas is the mapping of the occurrence of Biomphalaria. This work proposes a malacological survey instrument using a small UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for mapping Biomphalaria breeding. UAVs, popularly known as "drones" are vehicles that can reach difficult access places.[...]
