Rodrigues is collaborating with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in developing autonomous navigation and control for Ambular, an emergency response urban air mobility vehicle. It’s an ambulance drone designed to transport people in tight, hazardous urban environments from their homes to the hospital.

Located here in Montreal, ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that determines principles and techniques and promotes safety and orderly growth in the development of international air navigation and transport.
