Advanced autonomous drone and artificial life forms (ALF) technology
Beyond Tomorrow's Technology Today
Cereobotical licensed patents include:
3-modal Self-repleneshing Power System for Autonomous Drones
The patent covers three different solutions by which autonomous drones can replenish their power supply during flight operations.
Onboard AI System for Non-GPS, Non-operator Controlled Navigation
This novel flight navigation system allows an autonomously acting drone to find it's way around in the wild without relying on any form of GPS or other wireless technology.
Cereobotica Exo-skeletons
Custom-made exo-skeletons allow just about any machine to be turned into an ALF. These suits are robust, nearly indistructable, light-weight and come in three core operative versions: pedo, aero, and aqua. They sport a flexible shell that acts as the transporation harness for a machine. For example, a simple delivery-bot in Elysium Sanctuary City may be able to transport goods via the city's even-terrain walk-ways, elevators, and conveyor belts, but will not properly operate where the terrain is highly uneven, where climbing is required, or water-ways must be crossed. Placing a proper exo-skeleton - pedo, aero, or aqua, - suit over the delivery-bot will allow the delivery device to master any type of terrain challenge.
Of course, Cereobotica Exo-skeletons are not just meant for enhanced mobility modes of machines but can also be custom manufactured for organic life forms: humans and many types of animals. For a person, such an exo-skeleton can provide new mobility modes, improve or even entirely replace existing modes (due to injury, amputations, etc.). Controlling the exo-skeleton can be accomplished by voice command, physical joystick, or virtual joystick (i.e., VR goggles and gloves).
Brain-ina-Box Micro/Mini
The Brain-in-a-Box is a compact, self-contained AI control unit that attaches to a micro/mini drone (e.g., under 250g total weight) and takes over all flight operations. It processes video feeds from the drone’s camera for real-time object recognition, performs deep inferencing for decision-making, and executes flight commands autonomously. The box operates independently with its own power supply, communicates wirelessly with the drone, and accepts flight instructions via text or speech input. The design leverages a hybrid setup with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the companion computer, supplemented by high-speed memory and processing modules.
Hardware Requirements
Supported Languages: Java and C.
Object recognition operates at about 200 fps.
RAM for Video Scene Analysis: 3 x 0.5 GB (1.5 GB total) for real-time video processing.
RAM for AI Reasoning: 1 GB for deep inferencing logic.
Compatible with mini/micro drones (weight < 250g, size compact).
Independent power supply.
Wireless communication to replace the operator’s remote control.
Three-state selector switch (Off, Wait, Ready).
Dimensions: 80mm x 50mm x 30mm (fits within a micro Raspberry Pi case with extensions for components).
Weight: ~120g (including all components and battery).
Mobile Aerial Mine Drone (MAMD)
The MAMD is an autonomous aerial defense drone deployed outside Elysium Sanctuary City’s perimeter to monitor a designated sky quadrant for potential threats (drones, planes, rockets, missiles, hypersonic UAVs). Controlled by the Brain-in-a-Box, it uses a high-resolution camera for real-time object recognition at 200 fps, determines target trajectories, plots intercept courses, and self-destructs to deploy shrapnel upon target proximity. The design optimizes for long hovering periods and high-speed intercepts with a hybrid copter-jet configuration.
Dimensions: 50cm x 50cm x 20cm (folded for transport, expandable to 1m wingspan during jet mode).
Weight: ~200g (including Brain-in-a-Box, 120g, and additional components, 80g).
Structure: Lightweight carbon-composite frame (sourced from the 22nd Century Foundry), reinforced for high-speed flight and shrapnel containment.
Attachment: Brain-in-a-Box mounts internally via magnetic clamps, with a quick-release mechanism for maintenance.
Propulsion System:
Hover Mode: Quad-copter configuration with 4 brushless DC motors (e.g., 1306 size, 3100 kV) and 5-inch carbon-fiber propellers.
Power: 4 x 50W motors = 200W total.
Endurance: 2-3 hours with battery (see below).
Availability for external funding or investments: No.
