Inspired by bats, a new ultra-low-power sensing system enables tiny drones to navigate through darkness, smoke and dust, where cameras and other light-based sensors fail.
Drones with the right sensors and AI analyzing the data could quickly find a person lost or stranded in the wilderness, crucial to keeping them alive.
During my year aboard the Ocean Viking, we collected the harrowing stories of 110 people rescued by the ship in the central Mediterranean.

It might seem like an obvious move to deploy drones to help look for flood victims, but floods pose unique challenges that stymie the technology.
They aren’t just operating boats and helicopters. Others serve as dispatchers, handle logistics, and run social media operations.
Underwater search and rescue teams have been working in challenging conditions off the coast of Sicily.
Robots often have a hard time navigating through debris, but robots designed based on worms and snakes could move around obstacles faster, thanks to an idea called mechanical intelligence.
The last of four new Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft has landed, substantially increasing New Zealand’s surveillance – and military – capacity. But how they are best deployed is open to debate.
The Titan disaster happened in international waters, in a commercially operated vessel, and with victims of different nationalities. Any details that emerge will likely be treated with sensitivity.
A team of rescuers has located debris from the Titan, indicating the end of search-and-rescue efforts. Risky undertakings need to assess the cost and capacity of any potential rescue needs.
In the years since the Supreme Court rejected Kivalina’s appeal on May 20, 2013, the community’s search and rescue team has faced increasing climate disasters: ‘We just can’t adapt this fast.’
With an increasing number of people living with dementia worldwide and in Canada, it’s crucial to find ways to promote community awareness and prevent people with dementia from getting lost.
Italian aid workers charged with helping migrants travel through the country were acquitted in May 2022. But migrants are often not well received in Europe, despite a welcome of Ukrainian refugees.
Understanding how the brain translates smells into behavior change can help advance search and rescue technology and treatments for neurological conditions.
A new study highlights disparities and proposes research priorities for advancing the use of small aerial drones in disaster management.
At building collapse sites, aerial drones and ground robots can extend the eyes and ears of search and rescue personnel to places people can’t go – above and inside the rubble pile.
