In Germany, a green orb housing an AI-powered drone aims to combat the rise in wildfires exacerbated by climate change. Demonstrated by Dryad, the technology leverages smoke sensors to autonomously locate fires. As wildfires become more prevalent, with the capital experiencing increased blazes during severe heatwaves, timely response mechanisms have become crucial. Experts like Lindon Pronto emphasize the necessity for innovative tools that can address the fire issue at various stages, from prevention to post-event management. Dryad competes for a prize aimed at enhancing autonomous firefighting capabilities.
Fires are spreading much faster and more aggressively than in the past, which means we have to react more quickly," said Carsten Brinkschulte.
Wildfires have reached the point where they were essentially unstoppable, highlighting the urgent need for advanced firefighting technology," stated Lindon Pronto.
Action is needed to develop tools to address fire in the prevention phase, during the operational phase, and also post-fire," emphasized Pronto.
The drone rose above the trees, charting a zig-zag course to track down the precise location and extent of the fire, showcasing advanced technology in action."
