Measuring radioactivity with intelligent drones

In cooperation with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Centre for Energy Research we have designed and developed a high dynamic range radiation dosimeter to be carried by small intelligent drones. Main features of the system:

  • Stable onboard processing of raw radiation data in the range of 0.0002 - 10000 mGy/h
  • Onboard logging with high spatial and temporal resolution
  • Easy control and real time visualization of radiation heatmaps on dedicated ground station software
  • Programmable drone behaviour based on measurements (e.g., automated source tracking)
  • Precise, cooperative, spatially distributed measurements with drone swarms
