1.1 Background of the Study
Drones have become an essential tool for various applications, including surveillance, agriculture, and disaster management. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into autonomous navigation systems has significantly enhanced drone operations, enabling real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and precise navigation. In Northern Nigeria, autonomous drones have the potential to address challenges in agriculture, security, and logistics.
Sokoto State University has been at the forefront of research and development in drone technology, focusing on AI-driven navigation systems to improve operational efficiency and reliability. This study examines the role of AI in enhancing autonomous drone navigation and its implications for socio-economic development in Northern Nigeria (Bello & Yusuf, 2025).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of autonomous drones, their deployment in Northern Nigeria faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, technical expertise, and regulatory barriers. The lack of efficient navigation systems further restricts the widespread use of drones in critical sectors.
