Close X A video showing how a robot developed by an institute in Germany can help save drowning in people in lakes and swimming pools Drowning is the third main reason for accidental injury-related death globally, accounting for 7% of all injury-related fatalities, according to the World Health Organisation. An autonomous underwater robot, developed by a team of researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB), is now ready for the task of re...

German researchers create an autonomous underwater robot to prevent drownings Shane McGlaun - Mar 9, 2021, 5:57am CST Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (ISOB) in Germany have created an autonomous underwater robot to save people from drowning. In Germany, almost 420 people drowned in 2019, with most drownings occurring in freshwater lakes or swimming pools. One reason so many people drowned in Germany is that t...

Underwater Robot Deploys and Lifts Victims to the Surface When They’re Drowning in Pool or Lake Mar 7, 2021 Many swimming pools in Germany don’t have enough trained lifeguards—and in many places, this skilled labor shortage is leading to closures. The solution could be a floating underwater rescue robot. The aquatic robot transports the dummy to shore via the shortest route. © Fraunhofer IOSB, AST According to one German life-saving association, nearly 420 people drowned in Ge...

New Underwater Robot Prevents People from Drowning Written by AZoRoboticsMar 2 2021 The majority of swimming pools in Germany lack sufficient trained lifeguards, and the shortage of this skilled labor is also leading to closures in a number of places. During testing at the Hufeisensee lake, the dummy did not slip out of the securing mechanism as it was taken to the surface. Image Credit: © S.Thomas (Wasserwacht Halle). One solution to overcome this problem could be a floating underwater resc...

Even though lifeguards are essential to maintaining safety at swimming pools, they can't always see everything that's happening. That's where a new swimmer-saving underwater robot is designed to come in.

Information Policy Stats Hamburg deploys oneM2M smart city standards to go greener Whether one is dealing with a manufacturing plant or a smart city, the architecture of a distributed Internet of Things (IoT) system depends on several design considerations, says Ingo Freise, software architect at Deutsche Telekom. One is the ability to combine legacy sub-systems, such as a final-assembly cell, with greenfield deployments such as an image processing system for quality control. Another design co...

Covid update: 11 February 2021 11 Feb 2021 A round up of this weeks coronavirus-related news and countermeasures from the photonics industry. The robot coughs out a precise, repeatable cloud of droplets and aerosols. Research into the spread of coronavirus has been joined by a robot that, unlike a person, can cough out a precisely specified and repeatable consistency of droplets and aerosols. The coughing robot helps determine the effect of masks and various air purifiers on the spread of dro...
