Of tool in our tool box. another one is being prepared. so apart from prevention, we can prepare. but could technology help to catch wildfires before they take hold? we ve come to the bayes centre at edinburgh university to find out, and to do that we need to go up. andre cheung is ceo of robotic cats. they ve developed ai detection systems trained to spot the early signs of wildfires. in most parts of the world, firefighters have a really challenging job. they don t have enough resources to hire enough first responder firefighter to put out all fires. if they can find a fire earlier, use less resources to control them. that s a critical point. using cameras in itself isn t new, but currently many systems rely on manual judgment. what robotic cats have done is to teach the al to recognise the signs of fire far earlier.
