MAI Creates Flight Controller for Autonomous Drones

The device processes video and data in real time.

The press service of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) reported that the university will present a Russian flight controller for controlling drones and robotic systems at the HeliRussia-2025 exhibition. The device combines the functions of an autopilot, data processing and video stream analysis directly on board the device.

As explained by the university, the controller provides autonomous navigation and stabilization of drones. It processes information from sensors in real time, adapting to changing conditions. According to the developers, the device surpasses imported analogues due to powerful computing modules and sensors.

Particular attention is paid to working with video. Built-in artificial intelligence recognizes objects, detects obstacles and automatically adjusts the route. This allows the controller to be used for monitoring, aerial photography and search operations.

The device is compatible with drones of various types, from multicopters to airplane models. The passive cooling system allows operation in a wide temperature range. The controller is easily integrated into existing platforms thanks to universal interfaces.

As specified by MAI, the development has already been launched into serial production.Source: TASS
