Background

The earthquake that occurred in 2023 caused

50,000

The traditional form of search and rescue is inefficient and may miss the Golden deaths 72 hour

130,000 injuries

After an earthquake,dangerous areas may emerge and traffic may become chaotic, making it difficult to approach the location of survivors due to the harsh environment and factors such as aftershocks and fires.

In rescue operations, rescue personnel not only need to maintain high vigilance and cautious actions in highly dangerous environments but also face prolonged physical exhaustion and enormous psychological pressure.

Concept

An unmanned aerial vechicle(UAV) that combines AI and life detection devices can quickly and accurately detect earthquake victims, over-coming the complex and dangerous post-disaster environment. The AI can pilot the UAV and provide muliple intelligent anayses and rescue plans on a tablet . The mother drone uses a radar detector to search a wide area, and the logistics team can quickly transport surpplies. The sub-drones can penetrate into the rubble to asit rescue operations.

Details

The radar life detection instrument inside the drone can search for the location and depth of survivors over a large area in the sky.

If personnel intervention is required for the drone, the screen can be operated by touch, and the tablet is also equipped with joysticks and buttons that can be used even while wearing protective gloves.

Equipped with acoustic and optical life detectors, it detects speech, heartbeat, and tapping sounds, and uses the principle of light reflection for detection.

How does the radar life detector detect survivors under the rubble?

Based on the principle of ultra-wideband radar using nanosecond electromagnetic pulse, the radar life detection system can detect the heartbeat rate, motion, and respiration of survivors buried in rubble within 30 seconds.

It has features such as strong penetrability, high resolution, good anti-interference, and low power consumption.

Charging Tablet

The tablet will display reminders for the user to charge regularly, and also show the battery levels of all devices.

Preliminary investigation

The drone host with its subordinate drones on board flies away from the charging station inside the fire station, beginning a wide-ranging search of the target area, detecting and marking hazardous areas at high altitude. Once survivors are found, their coordinates and depth are immediately marked.

The AI will provide detailed information on the tablet and propose multiple secure rescue routes and intelligent solutions, allowing the rescue team to immediately set out and execute the rescue operation.

The receiver and speaker on the sub-drone can establish contact with the victims under the rubble, confirming their overall physical and mental condition, and assessing the surrounding environment. Afterward, the rescue team can refer to the rescue plan provided by artificial intelligence and proceed with the

Multi-functional utilization

If emergency medical supplies or rescue tools such as ropes are needed urgently, the radar detector in the drone can be easily removed and charged, and the internal space can be freely used to perform transportation functions.

User Interface

Using the radar life detector to accurately locate and correct the position and depth of survivors.

Search and rescue personnel can operate the tablet to allow the sub-drone to penetrate the rubble faster, and can also use the voice function to communicate with survivors.

Rescue personnel can refer to AI's proposed multiple safety rescue routes and intelligent solutions.

The tablet will display reminders for the user to charge regularly, while AI piloting will automatically calculate remaining battery levels and fly back to the charging station.

Integration of emotion recognition interoperable speaker

Core concept

Arlo is a new experience speaker that incorporates affective computing to analyze the user's current emotional state and recommend music that suits the current state of mind based on emotional recognition algorithms. The device is equipped with a camera to control the direction of the speakers by capturing the user's movement in front of the camera, and directional audio to personalize the music played.

Behind the design : How does ARLO works?

Emotion modeling is the most basic assumption in the music emotion recognition system. According to our research and analysis, we cited the emotion model proposed by Robert E. Thayer and the six classic facial expressions proposed by American psychologist Paul Ekman, which can be recognized by human beings regardless of race and culture, and then compiled two major systems to rate the strength of each emotion on a scale of 1 to 100. The strength of each emotion is rated on a scale of 1-100, and the recognized emotions are finally output to play the corresponding music.

Activate it through ARLO application

When approaching the ARLO, user can activate ARLO through ARLO application.

Correspondingly changing music

ARLO speaker reads your facial expression and plays music to match your mood.

Enjoy the directional auditory experience

ARLO uses image recognition technology to detect user movement.ARLO can target the raised hand and rotate with the user while the user raises their hand. In this way, user is able to adjust the speaker remotely.

Rotating

To integrate hardware and software, we utilized Raspberry Pi and Flask to implement the automatically-rotating motor and remote control.

ARLO has a tiny camera that detects user gestures as input. The Raspberry Pi detects and targets any people in the visible area using its camera.

Current Situation Analysis / Smart Speaker Market Trends

According to the research report "Smart Speaker Market", the global smart speaker market is expected to reach USD 27.92 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 18% from 2022 to 2028. Smart speakers have become increasingly popular in the market in recent years, and this growth has been driven by a number of factors, including the growing popularity of smart home appliances, growing demand for voice assistants, and constant innovation that has fueled the development of these devices.

What we found through the research?

Topic Research

According to a statistical report published by IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) in 2023, consumer demand for music experiences is on the rise, and linking online and offline to create a unique music experience economy is a key trend for the future. According to the report, more than 70% of people say that music can help them relax and relieve stress, and scientific studies have shown that music has a positive impact on health.

Background

Children can learn coping skills, and color-blind children ofte n try to hide their problems. Also, they may not know if they can see colors. In fact, they may appear "slow " or "hesitant" because they may not be able to see colors and make choices and become confused.
