Evacuation Drone
Can we use autonomous systems and robots to evacuate people from skyscrapers during emergencies?
In times of emergencies in skyscrapers such as fire, earthquake, terrorism and many more, the first information received at the quickest speed makes a big difference in deciding the course of action for the authorities. Latest technology such as drones and robots provide a new opportunity to do the initial reconnaissance autonomously while the specialized task force team arrives at the scene. The data inputs received from implementation of this system will lead to better decision making abilities during emergency situations which can lead to saving more lives.
Societal Impact
- More lives can be saved due to precise actionable data inputs received at faster speeds.
- Amount of damage done to properties can be reduced.
- Lesser risk to firemen’s lives due to better knowledge of the disaster scene.
- Post event disaster analytics can be undertaken to study what went wrong and prevent mistakes in future.
