At a time when other Tamil superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are busy launching their political careers, Ajith will devote himself to launching Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) has appointed him as its ‘Helicopter Test Pilot and UAV System Adviser’.

The actor, popularly known as ‘Thala’, began his new assignment by helping MIT build an advanced UAV for Medical Express-2018 UAV Challenge, a prestigious competition.

Team Dhaksha is using Ajith’s expertise to develop and build the drone for one of the most challenging unmanned vehicles that demonstrate the use of robotic aircraft for medical sample retrieval and medical delivery, where teams around the world participate.

Dr K Senthilkumar, Associate Professor and Director-in-Charge, Centre for Aerospace Research (CASR), told The Hindu, “We have developed an innovative technology and are confident Mr Ajith’s expertise in the design of aerial vehicles will strengthen our mission.”

The challenge for the teams is to attempt to retrieve a blood sample from a remote outback and return it to the base, which will be analysed by medical staff waiting there. Participating teams are encouraged to develop systems that can carry out the mission in a fully autonomous manner.

Dr. K. Senthilkumar, associate professor & director in-charge, Centre for Aerospace Research (CASR), said the UAV challenge in Australia is sponsored each year by a collection of industry, government and research agencies. Of the more than hundred countries that entered the fray, only 55 qualified for the second round. “We have developed an innovative technology and are confident Mr. Ajith’s expertise in the design of aerial vehicles will strengthen our mission.”

Meanwhile yesterday a video of him interacting with the crew went viral on Internet. Ajith kumar seen signalling the students to sit properly. Within seconds the video released, it went viral on the Internet. Some pictures of the actor also released.
