Maxim Gorlanov

Autonomous Aerial Systems & EOD Technology Student

I'm an innovation student at The Knowledge Society (TKS) focused on autonomous aerial systems, EOD safety, and AI-assisted inspection. My work explores how drones, robotics, and computer vision can reduce human exposure during dangerous first-contact assessments. My projects move from research to implementation: a drone-assisted bomb-disposal research article, a PyBullet simulation comparing Human-First vs Drone-First EOD workflows, and a real-time vision-based threat classification system.
