Description
The solution involves a satellite communication system that deploys drones to the scene. These drones capture and send real-time 2D and 3D images, helping responders assess the situation, make better decisions, or dismiss false alarms.
The system works by receiving emergency calls along with location data via AML and Galileo systems. This data is sent to emergency services, and if they use your software, an operator can deploy a drone to the scene for initial reconnaissance. Different drone models offer varying functionalities based on the plan selected.
Project uses drones and satellite communication to improve response times, enhance situational awareness, and reduce the impact of false alarms in emergency services.
Our software is built on the latest technologies, including ROS 2, micro-ROS, and FreeRTOS, to ensure efficient and reliable operation in demanding environments.
ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2): ROS 2 is a flexible framework designed for building complex robotics systems. It enables communication between devices, allows for modular development, and provides real-time capabilities. By utilizing ROS 2, our system benefits from robust communication protocols and scalability, ensuring smooth operation of the drone fleet and emergency service integration.
micro-ROS: micro-ROS is a lightweight version of ROS designed for embedded systems. It is used to control low-power devices like drones, enabling real-time processing with minimal resource consumption. This allows our drones to operate efficiently in the field, even in environments with limited resources or network connectivity.
FreeRTOS: FreeRTOS is an open-source real-time operating system designed for embedded systems. It supports multi-tasking and real-time scheduling, making it ideal for controlling the various tasks involved in operating drones and handling emergency responses. With FreeRTOS, our system ensures that tasks such as data collection, communication, and flight control are executed in a timely and coordinated manner.
