Following group work researching the context of the system in which quick food delivery service Flink operates, the goal of this solo project was to design a dozen concepts that would implement a drone in a sustainable manner.

The main service this would be applied to was to be a heavy-duty drone that in times of late-night shortage, of specific goods, would fly short distances into the inner city to reach the supply point instead of having an unsustainable truck drive there.

I came up with three main concepts: (1) a modular drone that could thus be easily recycled and maintained, (2) a bio-methanol fuel cell installed onto each drone, that would bring net CO2 emissions down to zero, and (3) a tracker installed on electronics so that e-waste recycling could be monitored.

The screenshot of my Miro page is meant to show how I work, organizing many different ideas. I been using Miro for every project since 2020 and I also believe this, besides VR, really enables me to express my thoughts fast and accurately.

I really enjoy concept design in this way, exploring many possibilities at an early stage to make sure a project takes the entire system into account before plunging into execution.
