Drone-based microbial analysis system |
摘要 |
A drone-based microbial analysis system includes an electronic drone control facility including an electronic storage memory device. The storage memory device stores information including a location of at least one possible contaminated area previously determined to contain at least one positively-tested microbe. At least one drone vehicle is in signal communication with the drone control facility and autonomously navigates to the at least one possible contaminated area to collect a specimen. The drone control facility performs a microbial analysis based on the collected specimen and confirms the at least one possible contaminated area is a positively contaminated area that contains at least one microbe based on the microbial analysis. |

1. A method of performing a microbial analysis, the method comprising:
determining at least one possible contaminated area; autonomously navigating at least one drone vehicle to the at least one possible contaminated area to collect at least one specimen; performing a microbial analysis based on the collected at least one specimen; and confirming the at least one possible contaminated area is a positively contaminated area that contains at least one microbe based on the microbial analysis. |
