One day, autonomous drones using artificial intelligence could survey scenes like the Baltimore bridge collapse to search for survivors, or even inspect bridges to detect maintenance needs.
Those are some of the potential future benefits of a $3.3 million grant to the University of Missouri from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, said Kannappan Palaniappan, MU curator’s distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
“Our goal it to improve the autonomous capability of drones for navigating and collecting information,” Palaniappan said.
