Scientists test a drone with a 'nervous system' that uses optical fibers to monitor functioning in real-time, reducing inspection landings.
The drone uses an optical speckle technique to generate images based on optical fiber nervous system signals, translating responses into visual representations.Scientists are testing a drone fitted with its own “ nervous system ,” which they claim can keep it operating in the sky for longer.It uses advanced optical fiber s designed to enhance operational efficiency in various applications.
Cargo-carrying drones are required to make regular pitstops for manual safety checks, which limits their use and can increase operating costs.The leading researchers, Dr. Chris Holmes and Dr. Martynas Beresna from the Optoelectronics Research Centre, explained this. The system employs an optical speckle technique that produces specific images influenced by the optical fiber nervous system signals, effectively translating emotional responses into visual representations.He added: “This speckle system keeps track of the stresses and strains on the drone, helping ground crews spot issues early without needing to land the drone as often for inspections.
