ADIGE 360 — Autonomous Drone Navigation In GPS-denied Environments

The Adige is the second-longest river in Italy, flowing into the Adriatic Sea. Water always finds its way. So should a drone.

When a micro-drone loses its communication link in a GPS-denied indoor environment, it must be able to navigate autonomously toward open space — preserving onboard sensor data that would otherwise be lost with the vehicle. Like water finding its path, the drone follows the open space.
