Researchers in Scotland have unveiled a new smart helmet for fire fighters that uses sensor technology, thermal cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to help them see and move better within a burning building. The helmet works by combining images from radar with inertial sensors and thermal cameras. This gives fire fighters real-time insights into their location, as well as the location of their team and any victims within a blaze. “Fire fighters often operate in environments with very low or no visibility due to the vast amount of smoke released from a fire,” said Dr. Chris Lu, who led the project. “This can make detecting the location of potential victims and whereabouts of fellow fire fighters very challenging in situations that are often extremely time sensitive.” This new technology also enhances the ability of fire fighting commanders to quickly make crucial decisions that can ensure the safety of everyone involved.
