Swiss Rega develops autonomous SAP drone

摘要

Swiss Air rescue service Rega has developed a drone that can scan large areas autonomously with onboard sensors and cameras. The pixel patterns from camera images are categorized aboard the drone in real time to determine if a person has been located and then the drone automatically relays this information to its operator. Eventually the drone will also have the capability to track cell phone signals. The aircraft is currently undergoing flight testing and could be operational by next year.
