Robots rescue drowned people

Not only rescue workers but robots will also be actively involved in saving people at risk of drowning. It's Pars, a flying robot with four fans, carrying a lifebuoy to drop precisely to the victim's location.

Pars was developed by the RTS Lab to serve in the Caspian Sea along the Iranian coast. The first version works in a short span of time and is being improved to a wider range of work.

The pars are equipped with a variety of sensors, including accelerators, gyroscopes, GPS, barometers and electronic compasses. Pars can carry three lifeboats at the same time, in the future it can carry up to 15 buoys. Rescue personnel control the remote Pars, it can also operate independently in certain situations with artificial intelligence. According to RTS Lab, Pars control is not difficult, operators only need a few days of training.

The scientists also designed the photovoltaic power station to charge Pars as it completed its mission and flew back. Battery charging stations can be attached to lifeboats or standalone stations. Another advantage of Pars is that it can save many people on the fly, while a common landing robot can only save one person at a time. Pars can also operate in harsh weather conditions such as sea storms.

According to Gizmag, RTS Lab has completed the Pars test. RTS Lab is currently seeking funding to build the Pars industrial prototype. In the near future will produce a series of Pars to provide for rescue workers around the world.
