Ascamm develops a drone for rescues
A team led by Ascamm, the technology center located in the Parc Tecnològic del Vallès with whom the Barcelona Synchrotron Park collaborates, has developed a drone specifically dedicated to rescues that was tested in the past few weeks.
This drone was designed in the framework of the EU Icarus project that aims at developing technologies that enable the use of unmanned vehicles in research and rescue operations.
The Ascamm drone is a quadrotor, a type of small 4.5 kg helicopter with 30-minute autonomy that records thermal images for designing appropriate real-time rescue strategies.
