By combining robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI), Maryland Engineering researchers and students are building solutions that can help save lives, protect property, and safeguard the environment.
One such system, RoboScout, Maryland’s entry in a competition run by the defense agency DARPA, would rapidly survey and assess injuries at sites of disasters or violence. The information RoboScout is designed to collect could help first responders prioritize medical care, a process called triage. The ambitious project, while in its early stages, is an innovative step toward autonomous systems to help as many people as possible survive such events.
