1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

Ensure effective design, engineering and delivery of solution for detecting & managing UAVs & Drones using Ethereum, IPFS & Filecoin eco-system tools, modular iot gateway device solution and Layer 2 scaling solutions.

Features:

•Detection : Identifying the UAVs in the video feed using object detection.

•Discovery : Logging the identities of UAVs flying in a particular air space, using exchange of unique identifiers.

•Geo-fencing : Discovering unlawful presence, raising alarms using w3ui.

•Monitoring and Reporting: Looking out and reporting incidents based on event detection in files uploaded using w3ui.

•Analysis : Analyzing route patterns and incidents.

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)

IPFS is the key pillar of our project as all the drone routing and incident data is saved at IPFS. We are using IPFS for storing a variety of incident data like incident snapshots, alarm metadata and object types at the time of incident. Please visit the demo videos at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1V8OCwu_MJmyAHQVbbepzsR8_igx5huer and https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1AUdsHAcUPTF85gVk93w8tzfEzbD7K6-Y

We are using web3.storage’s w3ui to upload and store geolocation file data and and map data. We are also storing Alarm metadata at IPFS; Saving/deleting alarm metadata and image to/from IPFS; Video analytics configuration and IPFS for incident snapshots.

3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)

We will be focusing on the following objectives with the Microgrant:

  1. We wish to develop an incident notes tool for the drone and UAV administrators using web3.storage’s w3ui. We also wish to implement web3.storage developer platform to use decentralized protocols for enabling better citizen mobilization for creating incident data along with its relevant metadata.

  2. We plan to decentralize key components, bottlenecks in our existing IPFS solution.

  3. Integration: We wish to integrate Livepeer’s IPFS playback tool with web3.storage’s w3ui and w3up for better outcomes in aerial traffic control. We also wish to integrate our solution with filecoin based lighthouse storage sdks for better access control and Webnative edge computing stack for reducing overall operational costs.

  4. For the administrator's role, we wish to store the relevant information on a drone or UAV incident at IPFS and enable investigative case management solution for early-stage detection and prevention of incidents.

  5. Learning with Wing (https://wing.com/): We are extending and developing our platform for path planning, guidance, navigation and control utilizing the strengths of programmatic DAOs available in Filecoin Virtual Machine. The path planner is used in all Wing business operations, which as of 2022 is greater than 300,000 flights in 3 continents. We can also utilize IPFS and Filecoin to store geolocation data, drone review and ratings data, incident and routing data in Wing's fleet of lightweight, autonomous delivery drones, which can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes in minutes.

  6. Learning with Thales Group (https://www.thalesgroup.com/en) and ZF Mobility (https://www.zf.com/site/zms/en/zms.html): We are extending and adapting our platform for aerial taxis. We wish to use FEVM for compiling smart contracts. FEVM enables us to use composable and stackable building blocks and primitives exposed through standardized interfaces, enabling the construction of interconnected solutions, thereby improving better outcomes. We wish to spend quality time on understanding how we can utilize the strengths of FEVM in our smart contracts.

  7. Development of Rotable Levels Planning software tool for spare parts, inventory management of drones; Repair Invoice dapp, Building Maintenance Planner using an OSS spreadsheet solution with Filecoin storage: We wish to develop Post PC applications namely Repair Invoice and Building Maintenance Planner for enabling drone service providers to actively participate in improving the aerial transport conditions by providing instant maintenance to drones and UAVs with breakdown or damage. We will extend and adapt EtherCalc for a Post PC interface with persistent file storage of Filecoin for data analytics. We also wish to explore IPFS integration with key open-source computer vision librariers like PyTorch, Tensorflow and analytics tools like R, Scipy, Matplotlib, Octave and Power BI.

4. Is this project open source?

Yes, the project is open source with license type: MIT License.

5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?

Yes, definitely. We would share a final grant report at the end of 3 month period.

6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

Yes.

ErinOCon commented 1 year ago

HI @seetadev, thank you for your proposal! It is generally our process to award one microgrant at a time. Since this proposal is currently active, we will not be moving forward with an additional grant at this time.

Please feel welcome to check back in for future grant opportunities. We will be rolling out specific focus areas throughout the year!

seetadev commented 1 year ago

Hi @ErinOCon, thank you so much for your encouragement, support and kind feedback. Appreciate it. Wish to share that we completely agree and would like to thank you and the Filecoin team for awarding us a Microgrant. On the same note, wish to add that we applied for the second project, Drone Monitor, after we receive an invitation link on winning the pool prize at Moralis Filecoin hackathon. We are more than satisfied and happy with the support and encouragement currently provided and the wonderful opportunities that are available for us to learn, contribute and collaborate in the IPFS and Filecoin community.
