Human-centric Artificial Intelligence for Internet of Things: Application to Search and Rescue Operations,
L’Oréal-UNESCO “For Women in Science” Young Talents 2023, (Budget: 10k Eur, March 2024-February 2025)
Motivation and main objective
The current research on Search and Rescue (SAR) emphasizes the need for integrating diverse technologies to meet various challenges effectively. This proposal introduces a novel three-pronged approach: 1) A human-centric AIoT system that includes wearable sensors, drone modules with acoustic and visual capabilities, multispectral drones, and a ground monitoring center to enhance SAR operations across different terrains and conditions. 2) Real-world experiments with volunteers to gather multimodal data in SAR scenarios, which will be annotated and sampled using human-in-the-loop methods. 3) The development of advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques, focusing on mitigating biases in gender, race, and age in SAR image detection, while ensuring data usage maintains a balance between discrimination mitigation and reliability. This project aims to integrate standardized equipment to generate high-quality multimodal datasets and develop a robust AI framework within a 12-month period, prioritizing responsible and trustworthy AI practices.
Vitis-IoT

SalvAIoT: “Artificial Internet of Things (AIoT) Platform with embedded systems and TinyML algorithms for search and rescue applications”, owner National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, funded by National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, GNAC2023 ARUT, STARTING GRANT-SG (budget ~10k Eur, November 2023 - December 2024);
Main motivation and objective
Between 2015-2022, Mountain Rescue Romania rescued over 57,000 people through search and rescue operations (SAR). The causes of mountain incidents are deviation from the route, failure to adapt to environmental conditions and SAR recommendations, technical errors in practicing mountain sports or natural disasters. The SalvAIoT project proposes an incident prevention and support system for SAR teams equipping tourists and SAR drones with sensors, state-of-the-art embedded systems and innovative TinyML algorithms for route assistance and victim location.
