Harish Alladi Builds Indigenous Robotics and Anti-Drone Technologies
Harish Alladi is an engineer who works with drones, robots and artificial intelligence.
He grew up in Sulthanabad in Telangana’s Peddapalli district.
He first taught students about drones and robotics through workshops and technology programmes.
His early projects included failed experiments and broken prototypes.
Later, he helped develop a system designed to stop enemy drones.
The system was demonstrated to India’s defence leadership and security personnel.
In 2021, he co-founded X Dimension Robotics with a team of engineers.
The company builds special drones, ground robots and computer systems that can detect and follow objects.
Its technologies are intended for uses such as defence, surveillance, agriculture and industrial operations.
Harish Alladi founded and leads X Dimension Robotics Private Limited, established in 2021.
He holds aerospace, artificial intelligence, machine learning, vision intelligence and robotics qualifications.
His work includes UAVs, counter-drone systems, robotics, computer vision and autonomous technologies.
XDRPL developed a 45-kilogram coaxial multi-payload UAV and tested systems at high altitude in Tawang.
The company supplies UAVs for defence-related applications and develops AI-enabled detection and tracking systems.
