Test batches will be produced by the end of the year
Staff from Novosibirsk State University (NSU) showed their own development — drone policeman with artificial intelligence and the ability to navigate in space without GPS.
The UAV relies on intelligent navigation along the underlying surface. As for AI, there are no details yet. The authors of the project say they plan to teach drones to make decisions based on AI. Considering that the development is positioned as a police drone, it will have to make decisions in not the most normal situations.
The drone's flight range is stated to be about 30 km, and the battery should last for an hour and a half of operation, which is a very, very long time.
It is completely autonomous, can perform tasks for tens of minutes without contacting anyone and in a completely autonomous mode, while being flexible. We want to try to "screw" modern large language models, so that in an unusual situation he can make decisions himself, that is, this is not the result of a program, a clear algorithm, but based on a large number of examples and familiar situations, he himself decides what to do – this should increase both survival and flexibility of this system

By the end of this year, the authors of the project plan to release pilot batches of several dozen drones. There is no data on commercialization yet.
