A team of Iranian roboticists at the RTS Lab in Tehran is developing an aerial robot designed to save people drowning near coastlines.
Pars is a quadcopter that could be deployed from the shore or from ships, designed to attend to people drowning or in difficulty in the ocean. The prototype carries a single rescue ring, but the team is working on one that carries three, while future iterations may be able to dispense up to 15 self-inflating rings.
The robot features GPS navigation tools, artificial intelligence, sound and image processing, autopilot search and rescue and a range of sensors including a three axel gyroscope, barometer, and compass. It has a FLIR thermal camera for detecting people in the sea, as well as LED lighting so that the robot acts as a beacon in the dark.
