UAV/Drone/Robotics

The platform allows users to generate 3D flight plans capable of trajectories that wrap tightly around structures based on raw LIDAR data. Image recognition is used for automatic detection and characterization of infrastructure defects for video flights,and the mobile device integration allows for on-site analysis and visualization reporting.

Intel's AI-related focus areas: 1) Engagement of specific project on use case modelling (end to end modelling using the technology of a company, Confluent, that Intel acquired). 2) Build AI and ML solutions (like 3D face detection) 3) Data Augmentation 4) Explainable AI 5) Drone group

Drones of Prey’s audio detection solution uses pure audio recognition from physical sensor data to detect and track drones around client assets in real-time and to provide detailed reports of drone flight history.

The GET Air solution includes a ground station for wireless power transmission and drones equipped with a wireless power receiving system and a rapid-charge battery pack. So far, GET has demonstrated 12 kW transmission at a distance of 8 meters with an efficiency of 80% using a three-phase, 15 kW energy source. GET is targeting in-flight recharging for drones and eventually other wireless industrial applications, with a goal to enable a new worldwide wireless energy network.

Hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuators are lifelike robotic "muscles" designed to be versatile, cheap, flexible, and strong. The device consists of a plastic pouch filled with an electrically insulated transformer oil that changes shape when voltage is passed through it. Further research in optimal materials and geometries and advanced manufacturing techniques is underway, aiming to enable a wide range of commercial applications.
