Seascout Aquatic Rescue Robot Might Save Many One Day
Posted on Jul 7, 08 03:37 PM PDT
There are seven thousand drowning every year in off-shore waters, but with the SEASCOUT Aquatic Rescue Robot patrolling around, casualies could be reduced greatly. It works by receiving signals from a GPS unit that every swimmer wears, the signal is activated by the swimmer is in distress and the Seascout, picking up the beacon will head straight for the drowing victim and scoop them up to safety. Designed by a student from Designskolen Kolding University in Denmark, Andre Harley, the Seascout can be directed manually or programmed to patrol in a random fashion until needed. It contains a internal lighting, a sunroof and a radio system to call for further aid – this is a concept.
