Decarbonization of light aviation : launch of the “InDRa” project to optimize the energy consumption of electric drones using frugal AI and mathematics.

Decarbonization of light aviation : A consortium comprising the AI and deep learning specialist ADAGOS, the Toulouse Mathematics Institute and the drone manufacturer DELAIR launches the InDRa project (INcreasing electrical Drone RAnge), aimed at increasing the flight time of electric drones by 20%, by optimizing their energy consumption.

“The objective of optimizing the autonomy of our drones with an ever-reduced carbon footprint is a major differentiating factor in the context of strong international competition” Bastien MANCINI, CEO of DELAIR.

“Adagos is pleased to bring its parsimonious AI technology to Delair’s environmentally friendly electric drones. Our goal is to demonstrate that our tools can achieve the announced 20% increase in autonomy” Mohamed MASMOUDI, CEO of ADAGOS.

“At ITM, optimal control is a particularly active research area. This project is an opportunity to apply our expertise to the dynamic and exciting drone sector” Franck BARTHE, Director of ITM.
