In this panel session from PRAGYA 2025, industry leaders from Qualcomm, Sony, and Gremsy discuss how AI-enabled payloads are shifting intelligence onboard UAV platforms, enabling real-time processing, faster decision-making, and greater operational autonomy.
The discussion examines how edge AI computing allows drones to analyse data in the air without constant connectivity, how payloads have evolved from passive imaging tools to customizable, AI-driven systems, and how lightweight, high-resolution sensors combined with flexible software unlock precision across mapping, inspection, agriculture, and security applications.
Moderated by Sandip Bapat, Senior Director at ideaForge, the session highlights why the next phase of UAV capability depends on close integration between sensors, compute platforms, and system architecture, turning aerial data into actionable intelligence at the point of capture.
Watch the full session to understand how AI-powered payloads are redefining UAV performance, mission responsiveness, and real-world outcomes.
