Data Metrics / Flight
One Fleet. Two Missions.
Every drone flight serves a dual purpose — logistics and science.
Smart Campus Delivery
Order from campus vendors and receive your delivery via autonomous electric drones. From food and beverages to everyday essentials — delivered directly to your GPS-specified landing zone in minutes, silently and emission-free.
- AI-optimized flight routing for fastest delivery
- Real-time tracking with live map and timeline
- 100% electric — zero carbon per delivery
Airborne Climate Observatory
Every flight doubles as a data-collection mission. Onboard ESP32 sensors capture CO₂ concentration, temperature, humidity, and air quality at multiple altitudes as drones traverse campus airspace.
- CO₂ monitoring at 400–600 ppm hyperlocal resolution
- Temperature & humidity at varied altitudes
- Continuous atmospheric feeds from every active drone
How It Works
From order to delivery — and data collection — in four simple steps.
Browse & Order
Pick from campus vendors — meals, snacks, beverages, and essentials. Add to cart and choose your landing zone.
Drone Dispatched
Our system selects the optimal drone, calculates the fastest route, and dispatches within seconds of vendor confirmation.
Track & Receive
Follow your drone in real time on a live map. It lands precisely at your GPS-designated landing zone on campus.
Data Collected
Throughout the flight, onboard sensors log atmospheric CO₂, temperature, humidity, and air quality at multiple altitudes.
Why This Climate Data Matters
Ashesi's campus sits within a unique tropical microclimate in Berekuso, Ghana. Drone-collected atmospheric data at varying altitudes and locations reveals patterns that ground-based weather stations simply cannot capture.
CO₂ Concentration
400–600 ppm
With global CO₂ exceeding 420 ppm, hyperlocal monitoring reveals how vegetation, buildings, and human activity on campus influence greenhouse gas distribution. Our drones capture altitude-stratified CO₂ profiles across different campus zones and times of day.
Temperature
24–34°C
Tropical campus temperatures fluctuate with solar exposure, wind corridors, and built-up surfaces. Multi-altitude drone data identifies urban heat island effects within campus boundaries and reveals temperature gradients invisible to single-point sensors.
Humidity
55–85%
Humidity varies significantly across campus microenvironments. Flight-level data maps moisture distribution, informing our understanding of evapotranspiration patterns and comfort indices across this tropical academic hillside setting.
Potential Research Insights
Our growing dataset opens doors to understanding campus-scale environmental dynamics that traditional ground-based monitoring networks cannot capture.
