Can drones help prevent natural disasters? Wildfires have become highly destructive in the recent years, ravaging the environment and human lives. In this hands-on workshop, build a wildfire detection system with autonomous drones. We will explore cutting-edge methods to detect fire outbreaks and predict their direction of spread. Gain skills in simulation and AI that you can apply to life-saving problems. In this workshop, we will discuss an approach to wildfire detection and path prediction using autonomous drones. We will focus on the key components of the autonomous system, including simulation and AI, that mitigate real-world disasters. You will use path planning, sensor models, and deep learning to detect and predict the direction of a fire’s spread. The focus for this workshop will be on designing and simulating a system for wildfire detection using drones.
