It is said : On
internet, ideas are “ Dime - a – dozen “
In my case, ideas are absolutely FREE – to search &
find / develop into a working prototype / even convert into a patent
That is what a team of researchers from PENN STATE UNIVERSITY seem to have done
Who are these researchers
?
Ø Saptarshi Das,
assistant professor of engineering science and mechanics.
Ø Darsith
Jayachandran, graduate student in engineering science and mechanics,
Ø Aaryan Oberoi,
graduate student in engineering science and mechanics.
Ø Amritanand
Sebastian, graduate student in engineering science and mechanics
Ø Tanushree H.
Choudhury, assistant research professor,
Ø Joan M. Redwing,
professor of materials science and engineering
Ø Balakrishnan
Shankar, associate dean for the School of Engineering [ Amrita
Vishwa Vidyapeetham ]
Which of your
idea have they converted into a patent ?
Swarm-O-Drone = A Drone with built –in “ Swarm Algorithm “ for
collision avoidance
When / where did
you publish ?
A
Swarm-O-Drone is born ………………………………………………………………..[ 16 Nov 2017 ]
How did you
describe this idea ?
Ø Look out for this
headline in Media within 2 / 3 years , by which
time , millions of drones would be
flying overhead
Ø Drones flying over
city buildings and over distant deserts / jungles / rivers / mountains /
in-accessible places
Ø How can we ensure
that , in such a “ free for all “ scenario,
drones do not keep colliding with each other ?
Ø But how come, birds
never (or rarely ) collide, without communicating with each other ?
Ø A software which
enables birds to “ communicate their intentions “ to each other , without internet
Ø This software must be ensuring that there is no collision
despite the entire swarm rapidly changing the “ flying parameters “ in unison
Ø Only thing that can work is to ban any drone that does not have embedded into it , the Swarm Algorithm ( copy the
nature ) , described above
How do PENN STATE researchers describe their invention ?
Following news report,
describes it as :
Locust
Swarm Could Improve Collision Avoidance …………………[ Aug 25, 2020 ]
Ø Now a team of
engineers is creating a low-power collision detector that mimics the locust avoidance
response and could help robots, drones and even self-driving cars avoid
collisions.
Ø The researchers
developed a compact, nanoscale collision detector using monolayer molybdenum sulfide as a
photodetector
Ø They report in
today’s (Aug. 24) issue of Nature Electronics that this “is a leap forward
towards the development of smart, low-cost, task-specific, energy efficient and
miniaturized collision-avoidance
systems.”
Ø The researchers’
collision detector responds in two seconds
Ø “While locusts
can only avoid collisions with other locusts, our device can detect potential
collisions of a variety of objects at varying speeds,” said Das.
