We presented our scenario for trapping mosquitoes. In turn, they presented their drone and the technologies currently used. The discussion that followed allowed us to consider a new trapping scenario with drones, and develop technical specifications. Secondly exchanges allowed us to tackle technical and commercial aspects and buisiness model.</br> </br> | We presented our scenario for trapping mosquitoes.

− | We had a skype meeting and mails exchanges with Gregory Lambert, a medical coordinator and entomologist at EID. We discussed about organizations that are responsible for mosquito control in France. We had a lot of informations about the tools, methods and strategies they are used to employ to fight against mosquitoes. We also discussed on the following protocols when an outbreak is declared, and different ways of prevention. </br> </br> | + | We had a skype meeting and mails exchanges with Mr.Gregory Lambert, a medical coordinator and entomologist at EID.

In short, thanks to their great specifications, we again completed our specifications and our scenario, especially for the trapping system ! | In short, thanks to their great specifications, we again completed our specifications and our scenario, especially for the trapping system ! | ||
