Las terribles secuelas de los recientes terremotos que sacudieron Siria y Turqu\u00eda dejan en claro por qu\u00e9 se necesita una variedad de tecnolog\u00edas para buscar sobrevivientes entre los escombros de los edificios destruidos. Ahora, investigadores de la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid han desarrollado un sistema rob\u00f3tico aut\u00f3nomo que combina inteligencia artificial con im\u00e1genes multiespectrales para buscar personas en entornos peligrosos y de dif\u00edcil acceso posteriores a un desastre.<\/p>\n
The horrific aftermath of the recent earthquakes that struck Syria and Turkey makes it clear why a range of technologies are needed to search for survivors in the rubble of destroyed buildings. Now, researchers at the Polytechnic University of Madrid have developed an autonomous robotic system that combines artificial intelligence with multispectral imaging to search for people in dangerous and difficult to access post-disaster environments.<\/p>\n
The system uses an Altum multispectral camera that operates at five wavelengths \u2013 red, green and blue visible light; near infrared; and red edge light. The camera is attached to a remote-controlled quadruped robot that can be deployed in dangerous environments such as a collapsed building.<\/p>\n
