Russia has created a system for controlling a swarm of UAVs to search for missing persons in forests Scientists at Novosibirsk State University have created a UAV control system for searching for missing persons, Andrei Velsenko, the scientific director of the development, an associate professor at the Faculty of Information Technologies of NSU, told TASS. We started largely from the task of finding people because we were shocked by the statistics: in Russia every year several thousand people simply disappear without a trace. Organizations like LisaAlert need help, and technical help first of all, - he said. The system makes it possible to control several UAVs through the app: the operator determines the route and mission, then the devices fly independently. Cameras take pictures every second, a neural network analyzes the images and determines if there are people or cars in them. When a person is detected, the UAV transmits data to other devices, and they return to the base. The system works without permanent internet.
