DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
: With the environmental changes, an increasing number of animals are endangered. Biologists and preservationists start taking actions, but how to measure length of animals, collection of animal vital signs and subsequent tracking become a necessary problem to be considered. The traditional capture of data acquisition not only threatens personal safety, but also damages animals
DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
: Yes, I want to protect animals as much as possible.
DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
: I want to further improve my design level and improve people's way of life.
DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
: Two months
DI: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
: I want to do something for the development of ecology. As a designer, I can only do something through my design.
DI: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
: No further consideration for the time being, thank you.
DI: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
: My team gave me a lot of help
DI: Who is the target customer for his design?
: Zoologists and animal protectors
DI: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
: It enables people to detect and protect animals when they are not in contact with animals.
DI: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
: Guardian means not to contact animals directly, but to protect animals better.
DI: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
: The traditional capture of data acquisition not only threatens personal safety, but also damages animals. The Guardian drone that we designed is a new-type drone that is used to supervise animals. It is replaced for searching, measurement and subsequent tracking. This not only guarantees safety of man and animals, but also saves manpower and material resources.
DI: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
: I think the difficulty in making this drone is how to make the camera have a scan and video function, because it sounds very science fiction.Second, how to make the GPS emitter smaller is also a challenge
