Testing AI-enabled drones for search and rescue
أغجاض±²¥ Boulder's Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences is partnering with the Boulder Emergency Squad to evaluate the use of AI-enabled drones in search and rescue operations. The research allows rescuers to feed information to drones, which can then independently help teams scout locations or find individuals.
"What we're doing with this research is giving tools to rescuers to control drones to get that initial perspective and then allowing them to also do other things at the same time," said Hunter Ray, an aerospace engineering doctoral student at أغجاض±²¥ Boulder.
Ray and first responders explain what the drones are capable of, what they work on during field tests and how they hope to implement the drones in the future. The project is still in the development phase.
