In `ARTPARK Innovation Summit 22’ hosted by ARTPARK, the team presented different components of CORRIDRONE architecture through a poster presentation. The main CORRIDRONE framework, communication architecture, and its different modules, such as corridor design, lane design, conflict resolution, intersection planning, and GUI for the central ground station, are presented through different posters. The team have interacted with various industrial and academy delegates and discussed the feasibility of large-scale implementation of the CORRIDRONE architecture in a dense urban environment.

In a seminar on ‘Advanced Air Mobility for Healthcare Emergencies’ hosted by ArtPark, the principal investigators, Prof. Debasish Ghose and Prof. Ashwini Ratnoo, collaboratively addressed the audience and explained the significance of Corridrone in the mobility of an air ambulance. Prof. Ratnoo started the address by pointing out the crucial requirements of an air ambulance, i.e. quick deployment, reliability, portability, and patient comfort and explained how well Corridrone fits in the picture. Session also addressed technical concepts like three layered geofencing, corridor cross-section planning, path planning, and downwash, followed by a few conceptual animations. Continuing the address, Prof. Ghose presented a few more technical concepts like conflict resolution, dynamic obstacle avoidance, Corridrone Architecture, and Graphical User Interface. The address motivated the floor with some promising experimental results carried out both in the lab and in the open sky. Prof. Ghose concluded the talk while emphasising the need for Corridrone infrastructure to send an air ambulance from one point to another. Talk video can be found on YouTube.

Chetahan Kumar, a reporter from the Times of India, interviewed The Principlal Investigators of the CORRIDRONE project. During the interview, Professor Ashwini Ratnoo explained the concept in brief. He said, “It’s a novel drone mobility framework which lays a lot of emphasis on the design of air corridors. These designs are based on the size and capabilities of drones. Pathways in the sky are fundamentally different from those on the ground. While providing greater freedom of design due to their virtual nature, drone corridors present a lot of challenges interrelating traffic efficiency, throughput, drone capability, and safety of operations”. Professor Debasish Ghose said that “The team have received Rs 70 lakh as initial funding from the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems (RBCCPS) at IISc, while it is in talks with ARTPARK (AI & Robotics Technology Park) for collaboration. We have also discussed the project with the civil aviation secretary”. Read the full article on the Time of India.
