Abstract

The system includes a processing circuit and a drone. The drone includes a housing with an aerosol delivery system and configured to receive a syringe such that an applicator of the syringe is disposed distally from the housing, a dispenser subassembly including a trigger disposed in contact with a nozzle of the aerosol delivery system, an actuator arm, and an actuator motor configured to move the actuator arm in a reciprocating motion. Control logic of the drone is configured to navigate the drone to an area associated with a potential object of investigation (OoPSI) based on navigation instructions received from the processing circuit to bring the applicator of the syringe or the nozzle of the aerosol delivery system proximate to the area associated with the OoPSI.
