        abstract = {An Engineer’s goal to continuously innovate, automate, reduce costs and improve safety in given fields is greatly aided with the introduction of Drones. Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that can be remotely controlled. They greatly vary in both size and weight. Reducing the weight of Drones is highly important to increase the amount of payload it can carry. In our project we try to implement the Sensorless FOC concept. This allows us to use a BLDC motor without the need of a dedicated encoder thus reducing the weight and also allowing us to operate at very high speeds without much wear and tear that would result from coupling the motor shaft to a dedicated encoder. FOC stands for field-oriented control. Drones allow us to deliver a variety of essential goods and medicines to otherwise inaccessible and remote areas and possess the capability to perform all these tasks at a moment’s notice with the outbreak of the Covid19 virus, the medical infrastructure been overrun since the virus has immense propensity for spreading quickly. The driving force behind this project was a need to develop a method of distribution of vaccine vials while maintaining a sense of isolation. Contactless delivery and service fits the bill perfectly. Given our immense population finding a solution is imperative and drones provide us with the solution.},
