Chennai: In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at the Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, have developed an innovative airborne-based intelligent autonomous landing system for mini-UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The Indian Patent Office has granted a patent for this pioneering technology, which enables drones to identify and land on specific markers, even on uneven or hilly terrains.
The Indian Patent Office has granted a patent for their airborne-based intelligent autonomous landing system for mini-UAVs, capable of identifying landing sites based on specific markers, even on uneven or hilly terrains. This innovative system offers greater flexibility and precision compared to current UAVs, which are limited to landing on pre-determined flat surfaces.
Chennai Researchers Revolutionize Drone Operations with Precise Landing System
This cutting-edge system offers unparalleled flexibility and precision, surpassing current UAVs that are limited to landing on pre-determined flat surfaces. The technology has far-reaching potential to revolutionize drone operations, enabling precise geographical identification for landing sites.
According to K. Senthil Kumar, Professor and Director, Dr. Kalam Advanced UAV Research Centre, Department of Aerospace Engineering, MIT, “This is a significant advancement in drone technology coming from Tamil Nadu. The patented airborne-based intelligent autonomous landing system promises to transform drone operations with its ability to pinpoint specific materials on the site and in the ground, even in challenging hilly terrain with uneven surfaces and slopes.”
A Major Milestone Achieved by Chennai Researchers
Existing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are designed to land on the surface. However, the system developed by his team of researchers is capable of pinpointing the location of specific materials on the site and in the ground. It can be used even in hilly terrain with uneven surface and slope.
The researchers’ achievement marks a major milestone in drone technology, paving the way for enhanced applications in various fields, including surveillance, mapping, and package delivery.
