Beating Retreat 2022 - Annual musical extravaganza along with Drone Show
The spectacular BeatingRetreat marks the formal conclusion of Republic Day celebrations. It takes place on the evening of January 29th, the third day after Republic Day. It is played by bands from the IndianArmy, IndianNavy, and IndianAirForce, as well as Army pipe bands and, beginning in 2016, a mass formation of bands from the Central Armed Police Forces and the Delhi Police. Raisina Hills and a neighbouring square, Vijay Chowk, are located towards the end of Rajpath and are flanked by the north and south blocks of the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Know more about the BotLab Dynamics which organised the Drone Show in this event
BotLab Dynamics has built technology that allows many drones to fly simultaneously and autonomously in interesting spatial and temporal formations. BotLab is a startup incubated at IIT Delhi incubation facility, TBIU ( Technology Business Incubator). Two focus areas for commercialization of the technology are Media & Entrainment for drone lights shows and in defence. The technology is built from scratch by BotLab. The goal of the BotLab is to fly thousands of drones simultaneously operated by a single user. Our mission is to be part of the ecosystem that makes building hardware easy in India. We are building drone technology solutions by designing both hardware and software in-house. Our team has developed full stack of solutions for drone light shows. Current fleet size is 100 drones capable of any custom formation. Building a complete system as is hard and making several copies with identical performance is even harder. Making all the drones position themselves precisely so that a viewer can identify a form is a huge challenge. What we have developed is capable of scaling it to thousand of drones flying in detailed vivid imagery.
