DRDO robot birds to spy on enemies | idrw.org
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will embark on a project to develop small robot birds that will be able to sneak into enemy territory for surveillance.
Delivering the inaugural address at a 3-day international conference on nano science, engineering and technology at Sathyabama University, chief controller of DRDO and chairman of Brahmos aerospace A. Sivathanupillai said the organisation had developed several equipment using nano technology for soldiers to fight safe battles.
He said that from unbreakable bones in the human body to unmanned aerial surveillance and reconnaissance vehicles in the size of a hummingbird could be possible in the future.
The scientist said that DRDO had designed a typhoid detection kit, Sanjeevani, a life detection kit to trace people trapped underneath buildings after earthquakes and many other devices that were of
immense use to people.
Stating that research on creating applications using nano science was going on in the country for only for a few years, Mr Pillai added that in five years a number of devices that could be used by people for enhancing the quality of their lives would be available.
Sathyabama University chancellor Jeppiaar said that the university in association with Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), had organised the conference.
Dr A.K. Tyagi, head (surface and nano division), materials science group, IGCAR, Kalpakkam, received an award for excellence in nano science and technology. Mr Pillai and Mr Jeppiaar handed over the award that included a medal, a citation and Rs 1 lakh.
