TASLab’s Medical Delivery Drone Project Showcased at HK SciFest, Featured by RTHK Pioneering UAV Technology for Emergency Healthcare Logistics

HONG KONG, April 2025 — The Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Lab (TAS Lab) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University demonstrated its life-saving Medical Delivery Drone System at the Hong Kong Science Festival (HK SciFest), drawing significant public and media attention. The project was spotlighted in an exclusive interview by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), highlighting its potential to transform emergency medical supply chains in remote and urban areas.

Revolutionizing Healthcare Logistics

The drone system, developed under TASLab’s Low-altitude Economy (LAE) Regulatory Sandbox trials, is designed to deliver critical medical payloads—such as vaccines, blood samples, and emergency medications—to hospitals, clinics, and disaster zones with unprecedented speed and reliability. Cooperating with the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (Astri), TASLab will deploy the Medical Delivery Drone System along with the Smart Traffic Light Project developed with Astri to realize the exact harmony of infrastructures development with smart city applications.

The Smart Traffic Light System can functioning as a fixed charging station to collect and recharge the off-shift drone, greatly increase the sustainability of the medical delivery drone and its operating range.
