Iprojekthi eyenziwe liqela labaphandi Iziko leMigangatho kunye neTekhnoloji Ngokusebenzisana neqela elivela kwi IYunivesithi yaseColorado Boulder kubangele uyilo kunye nokudala uhlobo olutsha lwe I-drone ixhotywe ngothotho lwee-laser sensors apho iya kukwazi ukuskena kunye nokujonga imephu yomoya weegesi kumgama wekhilomitha.
Phambi kokuba uqhubeke ukuxelela, njengoko abo banoxanduva lokudala olu hlobo lwedrone belumkisa, ukuba ixhotyiswe nge-laser ekhuselekileyo emehlweni, into ebalulekileyo kwisixhobo esenzelwe ukuba sisebenze. . Ukusebenza kwedrone kulula kakhulu, kuhamba ngokusebenzisa i-laser ukuya imephu kwaye ubone iindawo, ngexesha lokwenyani, ezineegesi ezingcolisayo.
Enkosi ngokusetyenziswa kwee-laser sensors, le drone iya kuba nakho ukubona iindawo ezineegesi ezingcolisayo
Umbono ophambili weprojekthi enje ukufezekisa Chonga ukuvuza okunokwenzeka ngokukhawuleza okukhulu Kwiindawo zeoyile kunye negesi, funda umxube wokukhutshwa kwemoto kunye nezinye iigesi kumda ophakathi komphezulu woMhlaba kunye nogaleko lomoya kumanqanaba asezantsi kwaye ufumane nokungcola okanye izoyikiso zemichiza kunye nemithombo yazo.
Ngokusekwe kwimbali yeqela eliphethe uphuhliso lwale projekthi, ngokucacileyo sele ikho ngo-2014 bakwazile ukuvavanya uhlobo lokuqala oluneziphumo ezothusayo, eziluhlaza phambi kwabo bafumene kuvavanyo lokugqibela ngenxa yokuba i-drone ngoku ukuphuculwa kwamandla kunye nezixhobo zokusebenza ngokuxhobisa iteleskopu ephuculweyo okanye umbane okhanyayo.
Ngokwiphepha elipapashwe liqela lophando, iziphumo ziyamangalisa kuba le nkqubo okwangoku iyakwazi ukubona ukutyikitywa kwegesi kwibhanti ye-infrared esikufutshane. Bakuba belifezile eli nyathelo libalulekileyo, abaphandi ngoku basebenzela ukufezekisa yandisa le ngxelo ukuya kumbindi we-infrared Oku kuya kulonyusa ngokubonakalayo inani leegesi ezibonakalayo kunye nokuvumela usetyenziso olufana nokufunyanwa kweengozi zemichiza kunye nosongelo olunokwenzeka.
