Abstract: ABSTRACT AUTONOMOUS HOVERING UMBRELLA FOR HANDS-FREE WEATHER PROTECTION The autonomous hovering umbrella for hands-free weather protection integrates drone technology and advanced tracking systems to deliver uninterrupted, user- centric weather coverage. This innovation overcomes the shortcomings of traditional umbrellas by providing a hands-free, versatile solution that responds to user movements and changes in environmental conditions. The system features a compact, foldable drone structure equipped with a weather-resistant canopy, a head-mounted tracking device for accurate user movement alignment, and environmental sensors designed to monitor rain, wind, and sunlight conditions. A controller driven by artificial intelligence analyses real-time data to modify the umbrella's position, angle, and height, guaranteeing maximum coverage while steering clear of obstacles. Individuals have the ability to tailor aspects like hover height, responsiveness, and safety settings via a user-friendly mobile application. The umbrella operates sustainably and efficiently, utilising rechargeable batteries with the option for solar charging. This innovative design significantly improves user convenience, safety, and comfort, offering a more effective alternative to conventional weather protection methods.
