Iphrojekthi eyenziwe iqembu labacwaningi abavela ku- Isikhungo Samazinga Nobuchwepheshe ngokubambisana nethimba elivela ku- Inyuvesi yaseColorado Boulder kuholele ekwakhiweni nasekwakhiweni kohlobo olusha lwe I-drone ifakwe uchungechunge lwezinzwa ze-laser lapho izokwazi ukuskena futhi ibalaze amaploseshi asemkhathini emabangeni amakhilomitha.
Ngaphambi kokuqhubeka ukukutshela, njengoba labo ababhekele ukwenziwa kwalolu hlobo lwe-drone bexwayisa, ukuthi ifakwe i-laser ephephile emehlweni, into ebalulekile kudivayisi eklanyelwe ukusebenza. . Ukusebenza kwe-drone kulula kakhulu, kudlula ngokusebenzisa i-laser ukuze imephu bese uthola izindawo, ngesikhathi sangempela, ngamagesi angcolisayo.
Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwezinzwa ze-laser, le drone izokwazi ukuthola izindawo ezinamagesi angcolisayo
Umqondo omkhulu wephrojekthi enjengale ukufeza thola ukuvuza okungaba khona ngokushesha okukhulu Emikhakheni kawoyela negesi, funda inhlanganisela yokukhishwa kwemoto namanye amagesi emngceleni ophakathi komhlaba kanye nongqimba lomkhathi emazingeni aphansi futhi uthole nokungcola noma izinsongo zamakhemikhali nemithombo yazo.
Ngokubheka umlando wethimba eliphethe ukuthuthukiswa kwale phrojekthi, ngokusobala vele ngo-2014 bakwazile ukuhlola uhlobo lokuqala ngemiphumela ehlabahlosile, ephaphathekile phambi kwalabo abebethole esivivinyweni sokugcina ngenxa yokuthi i-drone manje ibisinayo ukuthuthuka kwamandla noma ihadiwe ngokuhlomisa isibonakude esithuthukisiwe noma i-light retroreflector.
Ngokusho kwephepha elishicilelwe yithimba labacwaningi, imiphumela ibimangaza ngoba lolu hlelo okwamanje luyakwazi ukuthola amasiginesha kagesi eqenjini eline-infrared yohlu. Sebethole leli qophamlando, abacwaningi manje basebenzela ukufeza nweba lokhu kufakwa phakathi kwe-infrared Lokhu kuzokhulisa kakhulu inani lamagesi atholakalayo futhi kuvumele izinhlelo ezifana nokutholwa kwezingozi zamakhemikhali kanye nezinsongo ezingaba khona.
