SFU researchers look into technology to save lives and improve batteries
Peak Web November 15, 2018Written by: Trevor Steele, Peak Associate First responders might soon be able to save lives with hands-free drones Researchers at SFU have started working on technology to control drones using only facial expressions or arm gestures. The aim is to facilitate search-and-rescue operations that use drones by allowing first responders to pilot drones without using their hands. The trials are led by computer science professor Richard Vaughan in SFU’s Autonomy Lab, a research lab dedicated to increasing the capabilities and autonomy of robots. There can be many advantages to using drones in rescue missions, including the enhanced accessibility they…
