AI technology company Maris-Tech has received a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) to continue its research into drone faults and malfunctions, carried out in partnership with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).
The joint project is developing an advanced system that uses AI and machine learning to identify and predict malfunctions and faults in drones, which will then be integrated into existing Maris-Tech video technologies.
The $156,000 grant is two-thirds of the total budget (approx. $236,000) for the joint project to operate in its second year. The entire budget for both years stands at around $695,000.
The IIA grant was approved due to the completion of the targets for the first year of the project, the company said, as well as its ongoing successful collaboration with the university.
“The continued support of the IIA is a validation of the flexibility and utility of our technology and is based on the results of our successful partnership with BGU,” said Maris-Tech CEO Israel Bar.
“Maris-Tech continues to make strides to meet critical and emerging needs of the global drone market based on our unique solutions, incorporating cutting-edge video streaming and AI capabilities,” he said.
The Rehovot-based company was founded in 2008 by experts in the fields of electrical engineering and imaging.
The IIA is the branch of the government dedicated to promoting the Israeli high-tech sector on the international stage.
