Scientists from the Madras Institute of Technology at the Anna University in Chennai achieved a significant milestone thanks to their latest innovation. The Indian Patent Office officially granted a patent for an innovative intelligent intelligent Autonomous landing system by (UAV).
This advanced technology aims to redefine drones by enabling precise identification and landing in various geographical locations, even in difficult areas. According to K. Senthil Kumar, professor and director Dr. Kalam Advanced Uav Research Center in the Aerospace MIT Engineering Department, this development is a breakthrough of games for logistics operations, especially in distant or hostile environments.
The patented system leads to its ability to indicate landing sites with many images, enabling drones to safely land on areas with uneven surfaces, slopes or other obstacles. Unlike traditional UAV, which require well-prepared flat surfaces, this innovative system can identify markers-as specific colors or outfit-and land thoroughly, even on uneven terrain.
Dr. Senthil Kumar described in detail that the system identifies the exact location of the marker, faces coordinates and allows UAV to land in a designated place, including on moving platforms. In addition, QR codes can be used to further increase accuracy and reliability. This autonomous system uses AI algorithms and deep learning to increase performance, reduce the landing time and act fully on board.
It is expected to bring a great benefit of logistics at high altitudes, supporting the armed forces and the security of borders in providing the necessary stocks, conducting emergency assistance and performing critical missions. The technology supports UAV capable of carrying up to 50 kg of load at a distance of 20 km, with constant efforts to increase both the capacity of the load to 100 kg and range to 50 km.
However, the new UAV landing system has potential applications that go far beyond conventional military use. This technology also promises various civil applications, including fire extinguishing, supervision and even healthcare logistics. The system can revolutionize the supply of organs and medicines, as well as improve e-commerce operations by facilitating efficient product delivery.
Dr. Senthil Kumar emphasized the importance of this invention, paying attention to its potential to revolutionize the methods of supplying packages. Traditionally, deliveries were made by drops from considerable heights, but this new system introduces a more precise and flexible approach to drone landings.
