that looks chilly. it certainly does. but how could drones help rescue swimmers in distress? lj takes the plunge to find out. and then from cold and wet to hot and dry. laura checks out the ai watching for wildfires. the alert s come through. i didn t even notice that, but the camera did. as cars get ever more powerful and ever more numerous, the quest for road safety is an ongoing battle. some cities, like london, have introduced congestion zones, which reduce the amount of traffic and make things safer for pedestrians, but there s also research, of course, going into how to protect the passengers inside the vehicles too. car safety testing is still largely done on the same crash test dummies that we used in the 1980s, and they were based on the male form. but now a team of engineers in sweden are in the final stages of developing the first average female crash test dummy. so, what happens to a woman s body during a crash? shona mccallum has been to linkoping in sweden to fi
against danger and disaster. shona is in sweden to put the first average female crash test dummies through their paces. whoa! 0k! i m ready to be rescued right now! that looks chilly. it certainly does. but how could drones help rescue swimmers in distress? lj takes the plunge to find out. and then from cold and wet to hot and dry. laura checks out the ai watching for wildfires. the alert s come through. i didn t even notice that, but the camera did. as cars get ever more powerful and ever more numerous, the quest for road safety is an ongoing battle. some cities, like london, have introduced congestion zones, which reduce the amount of traffic and make things safer for pedestrians, but there s also research, of course, going into how to protect the passengers inside the vehicles too. car safety testing is still largely done on the same crash test dummies that we used in the 1980s, and they were based on the male form. but now a team of engineers in sweden are in the final st
earlier, it use less resources to control them. that s a critical point. using cameras in itself is not new but currently many systems rely on manualjudgement. what robotics cats have done is teach the al to recognise the signs of fire far earlier. so, obviously we don t have a fire that we can look for here in in edinburgh, but we ve set up a screen to look at. where is this, andre? this is controlled burns in hong kong, in the remote areas. and we are going to see if this camera can detect it? yes. it is taking images of the video and send it to ai and the ai, we run analytics on the images to see if there is any fire like signal. and hopefully we ll get the alert on your phone? just the images, real time detections. we see the image and the highlight of the fire front is here. yes, so the alert has come through. i didn t even notice it but the camera did. the ai did.
we ve come to the bayes centre at edinburgh university to find out and to do that, we need to go up. andre chung is ceo of robotic cats. they developed detection systems despite the early signs of wildfires. in most parts of the world, firefighters have real challenging job. they don t have enough resources, first responder firefighters to fight them. if they can find the fire earlier, and use those resources to control it, that is a critical point. using cameras in itself is not new but currently many systems rely on manualjudgement. what robotic cats have done is teach the ai spot the signs of fire fire earlier. obviously we don t have a fire we can look at in edinburgh.
