Revolutionizing drone navigation: AI algorithms take flight
Thanks to smart algorithms powered by artificial intelligence (AI), drones could one day pilot themselves — no humans needed — using visual landmarks to help them navigate from one point to another. That’s the aim of a two-year project led by University of Missouri researchers and supported by a $3.3 million grant from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), the premier research and development center for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Army Research Lab internship part of ongoing research around drones
Professor Kannappan Palaniappan and PhD students Jaired Collins and Tim Krock in Arizona, where they used drones to collect data for the Department of Defense. A Mizzou Engineering graduate student has returned from a two-month internship at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, Maryland, where he investigated best practices and use cases around lightweight compact drones. It was part of ongoing research that Tim Krock ultimately hopes leads to more efficiently using drones for urban planning, agricultural management, emergency response and package delivery, as well as helps advance the field of robotic vision. “The idea is, can you explore…
