Innovating Autonomous Wildfire Detection & Response
Date/Time: Thursday, September 14 at 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET
Webinar Description:
Extreme wildfires are on the rise. Globally, the severity of wildfires is increasing—they spread faster and burn larger areas at higher intensities. Extreme wildfires wreak havoc on the expanding Wildland-Urban Interface—where homes, business, and major infrastructure are most at risk, and drive over 80% of total associated fire damages. There is a pressing urgency to advance firefighting practices with innovation. Autonomous unmanned vehicles can and are playing an increasingly important role in wildfire detection, response, and suppression.
Looking into E&C’s Hearing on AV Regulations in the U.S.
The world of transportation is on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, and at the heart of this change lie autonomous vehicles (AVs). These cutting-edge technologies promise to reshape our roads, enhance safety, and revolutionize the way we move. This week, the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee held a crucial hearing to discuss the future of AVs, and AUVSI believe it is a step in the right direction. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why we should wholeheartedly support federal AV framework legislation and embrace the possibilities AVs hold for a brighter, more efficient, and safer tomorrow.
Leveraging Robotics for Enhanced Indoor Security
Date/Time: Wednesday, September 6 at 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET
Webinar Description:
In the modern landscape of security challenges, traditional systems are no longer adequate to ensure comprehensive protection. Blind spots, false alarms, and resource constraints plague conventional security setups, leaving vulnerabilities unaddressed. As threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the demand for innovative solutions becomes paramount. This webinar delves into the realm of indoor security, exploring how cutting-edge technologies like autonomous drones and legged robots are revolutionizing the way we safeguard our spaces.
