ResQ is an AI-supported semi autonomus search and rescue drone that aims to enhance the efficiency of search and rescue operations. During natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, it is crucial for rescue teams to identify victims and coordinate their efforts effectively. ResQ is equipped with advanced imaging technology, including high-resolution cameras and thermal sensors, enabling it to perform reconnaissance, detection, and mapping tasks in disaster areas. Utilizing machine vision and learning, ResQ streamlines response efforts by providing mapping data to drone operators and a centralized interface system upon detecting potential victims. Its toroidal propellers, along with a directional microphone, allow for quiet flight, ensuring minimal disruption to the work of existing search and rescue teams. Designed with a user-friendly remote control, ResQ serves as an operational assistant for search and rescue teams, catering to their specific needs.
