- Description
- A camera-based artificial intelligence system that enables electric drones to fly safely over long distances.
- Objectives, activities and expected results
- The project aims to develop an AI-based Detect-and-Avoid system, integrable into any drone, able to detect manned aircraft in real time and enable autonomous flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). To achieve this, a dataset of aircraft images will be created, a Deep Learning model trained, and the embedded software that performs detection on board the drone developed. As a result, three digital products will be delivered that make it possible to replace helicopters and combustion vehicles with electric drones, contributing to the climate transition.
