The new generation drone Sigma can control fire incidences in the taiga, observe power transmission lines, and participate in geological surveys.
The tests of the unique unmanned aerial vehicle "Sigma" have been launched in Krasnoyarsk. Unlike its analogues, "Sigma" can take off vertically and has an artificial intellect.
One of the features of the UAV designed in Krasnoyarsk is the introduction of self-diagnostic elements into all electronic components of its system.
Krasnoyarsk specialists have implemented a neural network into the piloting of unmanned aircrafts. It will be able to discern images, for example, smoke from forest fires, and identify people or machines.
