Objective
Ensure scalable, timely, and accurate triage by developing noninvasive, remote detection methods for injury assessment
Challenge
Employ autonomous robots to identify and classify human injuries from a distance of 1-10 meters, without physical contact, to help medical responders perform timely, and accurate triage
Novel Technology
Measure physiological features using compact, multi-modal sensor packs. Assess injuries with devices like VIS/SWIR imaging, thermal cameras, radar, and motion-tracking LiDAR. Navigate challenging environments using autonomous robots equipped with SLAM for enhanced sensing and diagnostics.
