1. Camping

1.1. Personal Hygiene

1.1.1. Water supply may be limited or not available at all in some cases

1.1.2. Warmer water is far better at cleaning and killing bacteria than cold water is.

1.1.2.1. A portable water heating system? Can be essential if heated water is not readily available for a few days camping. Even a 1 day supply of water may be the only thing needed to ensure you do not get a bad disease.

1.2. Food and nutrition

1.2.1. In really cold temperatures were you are using gas a lot and have low supply, an emergency food heating system may be useful to ensure you stay healthy and motivated to continue your journey.

2. Agriculture

2.1. Crop monitoring

2.1.1. Chemicals may be used to be spread over plants which may have suffered disease which would result in wasted supplies.

2.1.1.1. An UAV or ground based system which is able to autonomously go out and take pictures of crops which can be fed back to a computer to be later analysed.

2.1.1.1.1. The location of each crop can also be noted so a farmer can then go out and check the plant visually for themselves.

2.2. Chemical spreading system

2.2.1. This will usually involve large machines which can be expensive to run as well as require tracks to be made around crops for these to travel through when the crop has begun growing.

2.2.1.1. Will reduce yield for more fragile plants as some may get damaged by the machinery

2.2.1.2. The area used for the tracks could instead be made smaller or removed completely to accomodate for a new system to increase yield.

2.2.1.3. Can be a very long and time consuming process. Where machinery of this scale is not widely available, farmers are required to employ people to go round in groups spraying the plants individually.

2.2.1.3.1. This may result in taking away jobs of people who may otherwise find it difficult to find work elsewhere.

3. Personal safety

3.1. Road Safety

3.1.1. Young children can unknowingly walk into the road and this may result in fatality.

3.1.1.1. A prevention system that will stop children from entering onto a road without a responsible adult with them.

3.2. Street Safety

3.2.1. People using their mobile phones while walking can attract thieves.

3.2.1.1. A system to warn people of a person approaching rapidly towards them?

3.3. Night home safety

3.3.1. People may not be able to get to their phone during a burglary to call for help

3.3.1.1. An automatic phone calling system?

3.3.1.2. An effective deterrent system which forces burglars to flee.

4. Emergency services

4.1. Ambulance

4.1.1. During a disaster, people may need to be cleaned down to be treated. This will help reduce the spread of any diseases during difficult times.

4.1.1.1. Cold water although can be used to clean people, warm water can be much more comfortable as well as better at killing any bacteria.

4.2. Fire Service

4.2.1. A system which can be deployed for the fire service to be able to search a large site for people in danger without them having to go in themselves.

4.2.1.1. UAV or ground based fireproof system which may have a camera installed?

5. Home and Garden

5.1. Cleaning Systems

5.1.1. Cleaning driveway tiles can cause many people back pain as it requires you to get the pressure washer low to the ground to get optimal cleaning performance.

5.1.1.1. A system to increase the speed of cleaning?

5.1.1.1.1. Autonomous chemical spreading system which will allow cleaning solution to soak in and act on dirt a set time before you begin pressure washing.

5.1.1.1.2. Heated water can help to remove dirt however heated pressure washers can be very expensive.

5.1.1.2. A system to autonomously complete this task?

5.1.1.2.1. This may be very expensive and is a very niche product as will only be used by people that feel the pain they experience in doing this task once every couple of month is worth a premium price.

5.1.2. Car washing at home can be difficult in cold weather as the cold water in the cold temperature is sprayed around the vehicle as well as the person who is operating the pressure washer.

5.1.2.1. Water heating system which can be connected to your pressure washer?

5.2. Garden plant care

5.2.1. People may forget to care for their plants in the garden or they may be unable to if they are away for an extended period of time.

5.2.1.1. An automated system which is able to carry out tasks like spraying plant fertiliser/chemicals at a set time during the day.
