Aerial robots are already used for tasks such as checking wind turbines for damage, and can thus undertake vital tasks that would be hazardous for humans. To enable further areas of application and optimise the technology in the future, an international consortium is now seeking to research the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in drone development.
As well as Paderborn University, the project also involves the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (project coordinator), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), Luleå University of Technology (Sweden), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands), the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (Belgium), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), the Center for Security Studies (Greece) and the companies VoxelSensors (Belgium) and Biodrone (Norway).
