The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into disaster response technologies is transforming how first responders and autonomous systems operate in complex, high-stakes environments. In the context of the CARMA project, AI plays a pivotal role in enhancing orchestration, perception, and decision-making processes of semi-autonomous and autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), enabling them to work seamlessly...Read More
aunav.NEO HD: Precision Mobility for High-Stakes Operations In high-risk environments—collapsed buildings, industrial accidents, smoke-filled tunnels—human limitations become mission-critical constraints. Low visibility, unstable terrain, and toxic substances can delay or prevent life-saving interventions. What if robots could overcome these barriers, acting as agile, intelligent extensions of emergency teams? Enter CARMA: a revolutionary project that is not...Read More
In emergency response, every second counts and teamwork can mean the difference between life and death. This teamwork isn’t just among humans – it extends to our robotic allies on the front lines. Enter CARMA (Collaborative Autonomous Robots for eMergency Assistance), a groundbreaking European initiative uniting experts from across the continent to advance human-robot collaboration...Read More
